Today I'm lightly reviewing the H Upmann 1999 Vintage Corona which was kindly gifted to me.
Appearance 13/15:
It's a very firm box pressed corona, and the construction is superb.
Flavour 20/25:
Opening draw is good, with vanillas and pistachio flavours. Further in and I get oranges and a creamier taste.
Half way through and the creamy flavours are still present with the familiar bitter coffee tastes dictating the pallet and a slight almondy presence at the end.
Smoking characteristics 20/25:
For a small-ish cigar, it's quite potent with a strong body and after taste. Reminds me of a few of the Bolivar's I've had. Plenty of smoke and long ash.
Overall impressions 30/35:
One to check out. Sorry I couldn't describe it further, I think I need a couple more before I can provide a more in-depth review
Total out of 100: 83
