I find the H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 needs time to mature
in the humidor when young. Medium bodied, I found the Cigar
I smoked recently bitter and acrid in parts.
Released in the Autumn of 2011, the H. Upmann Half Corona is a short thirty
minute Cigar. There's no real consensus at the moment regarding how well
the Cigar is smoking and how well they will age, but early impressions amongst
aficionado's is that the Cigar has been hit and miss.
