H. Upmann No. 2 Review

, By: John Smith
  • Brand: H. Upmann No. 2
  • Length: 156 mm / 6.1 inches
  • Ring: 52
  • Score: 4/5

Product Introduction

The H. Upmann No. 2 is a Cuban cigar with a torpedo size. It is hand - made, and each cigar weighs 14.26 g, with a price of about $13 each.

Appearance

The wrapper is oily but rough, and each cigar has at least a couple of white spots and other imperfections. It got a rating of 3.5/5.

Construction

The draw was flawless, but there was frequent tunneling and the smoke was a bit rare. It was rated 4/5.

Flavor

  • One third: It starts with a slightly sweet woody flavor diluted with a light spicy taste, and is medium - bodied.
  • Two thirds: The power significantly increases. Perceptible leather notes and dark, concentrated coffee are the main flavors, and it becomes overwhelmingly powerful at the end of this part.
  • Three thirds: The finish is somewhat heavy but still enjoyable.

It was rated 4/5 for flavor.

Value

It's a bit cheaper than other Cuban torpedos. For seasoned smokers with a box of decent construction, it might be a good deal, rated 3.5/5.

Overall, it's not recommended for beginners due to its obvious strength. It may become better if aged 2 - 3 years.
