H. Upmann No. 2 Piramides

[Henry Rollings]

Pick this one up in Cuba, paid the equivalent of about ?5. It has a fairly tight draw, well made cigar, quality dark brown appearance, holds about an inch of ash before dropping.

The taste is a wood, nutty taste, reminds me of "old tobacco" if you know what I mean the sort your grandparents may have smoked. The middle third was amazing had a chocolately nutty taste with some black pepper. I would put it at medium strength overall.

Unfortunately, during the last third, I placed it down to change my music playlist and it went out, I cut it and tried to relight, but couldn't do so without burning my face off, a real shame. I only had one of these cigars, but would love to give it a go again. Price in UK seems to be around ?18.

Interesting review, personally I find it too mild & its my least fav piramide but it is a classic & has a loyal following, does improve with age, as do all the H.Upmann's. Try a few more & hopefully your get to form an opinion on an avge example.

Thanks for the comment it is one I would try again I think there is better for the money though.

Indeed, I think the Monte & Party are hard to beat & presumably similarly priced.

See the HUpmann 2 just hits all the right spots on my buds, just love the rich tobacco/coffee taste, the cream from the smoke, and the nuttiness of it all. Different folks different strokes and all that
