"try 5 first. make your own decision."
I bought a box of these little gems.They look fine, they taste good with a nice draw. Unfortuneatly for some reason there is nothing resembling an even burn.for some reason a third of this smoke want's to remain intact to the end. I've smoked 5 already hoping that the next one'll be better.lets hope a month in humi will help.I will not be buying these again.

"my classic smoke"
The H Uppman robustos were my first real smokes. These are always consistent and the taste is what I'm looking for. A true classic.

"Be a man"
Like the rest of you, I've been trying a lot of mild to medium off-brands lately with disappointing results. Alas, I decided to go back to a solid cigar like H. Upmann. Can't believe the whiners out there; this is a fantastic cigar for the money. Forget the leather, the cocoa, the dirt, the chicken soup complexity idea, my brethren. Just enjoy H. Upmann's classic packaging, silky wrapper, great pre-light aroma, draw, and flavorful smoke. The taste brings to mind the Cubano starry nights I remember as a teen. Be a man. Take a little Dominican, add a dash of Brazilian, wrap it in sweet Sumatran, age well, and you've got the flavor profile combination of true tobacco heritage. Enjoy!

"Perhaps my new fav."
I lite one of these up while I was bowling and was amazingly surprised. It had a great draw,great ash and was good to the last frame. I usually smoke C.A.O's as my regular stick but that my be changing real soon. Great stick at a great price.

"Excellent"
Smoked the first one from the box that arrived this afternoon with a great glass of wine and watched the sun go down over the lake I live on. Found the smoke to be a very excellent experience. The taste was mild to medium as was expected. The draw and burn were outstanding with a very firm construction that you typically find in the higher quality smokes. It was an outstanding experience and I can't wait to smoke the next one during tomorrow evenings sunset.

"Damn tasty!"
Very nice mild taste. Started with a medium draw and then loosened up a bit. Good ash, even burn. Not harsh at all. Good after taste. None of that funky "burnt" tase on the palate. Gonna add this to my favorites list.
