Background Info
This cigar is not a regular release, it can only be found in the H. Upmann travel humidor that was released in 2007. It’s a great looking travel humidor and comes with six robustos inside. If you are looking for a six-cigar robusto travel humidor that looks incredibly sexy, this is a no brainer.
Mission Notes
It was a cloudy day with plenty of rain in the morning. As soon as it stopped raining I pulled out the mission folder and went right to work. The temperature was perfect for my cigar spy duties, not too cold, and not too hot, it was what I like to call “chilly-warm.” It’s not exactly warm, but it’s not cold either, it’s the perfect comfort and it makes me happy just like my “sockies.”
Enough about my socks, let’s talk about the mission. The H. Upmann Robusto started off with a lemony nutty flavor. On the after taste I picked up some soft white pepper and dry fruit flavors that paired very well with the overall profile. Yummy! Very enjoyable!
I’d say this cigar is medium-to-full body, with an amazing smoothness, leaving the palate fresh and ready for the next smoke. (haha, great excuse to smoke another one) The quality was outstanding.
Final Statement
H. Upmann never disappoints, it always delivers a great smoke. I must say, this was an excellent mission and completed with happy memories. Goodbye clouds! This little robusto has brought plenty of sunshine my way!
