There is no simple way to describe the cigar lifestyle! No singular mold, word, or recipe that you can conjure up can come close to encapsulating it. In fact, I don’t even know that I can do it justice in my humble attempt to write about it. You see it can be as simple as sitting on your front porch enjoying your favorite go-to cigar by yourself, or as complex as big events, shows, and cigar societies. It can be a lazy day or a ritzy night. It seems to bridge social, political, and racial gaps. It can include sports, poker, ...
Wrapper: Connecticut Shade Filler: Nicaragua Size: Epicure or "E" (6x54) Strength: Mild-Medium There's always something great about getting together with a group of friends and hitting the golf course early in the morning. Perhaps it's the smell of fresh cut grass, the cool crisp air you don't get in the workplace, or...maybe it's something more. Maybe it's the pride you get from seeing the keg-golf cart attachment (that you spent a full weekend building) flawlessly work. Maybe it's the general comradery, flowing ice cold beverages, or even your swing that seems to shank less than usual. Now only one thing can complete the picture: A ...

H.Upmann cigars are among my favorite, smoking them brings me a lot of pleasure, and sometimes I don’t even want to change them to something new. So since I’ve smoked the Petit Coronas for several times already, I decided to read or, better, type out loud my thoughts about this little but very significant cigar in the H.Upmann line.
This particular cigar looked great, moreover, most of them look great, bearing in mind that I have smoked dozens of Petit Coronas till now. I think that Cubans understand that this brand is one of our favorite, so it has to be flawless and look great, if not perfect.
This particular cigar had some visible veins on it and was a little lumpy to the touch which gave it a rustic look. And I must admit, I like such appearances, it indicates (to me, at least) that someone has put his heart into it; it should be a good one!
The draw was easy – at this one, to be precise, because I had a few which were a little bit tight and I had to retouch them while smoking. The draw is an essential part, particularly at these stogies, since I am smoking them when I have a little time, and having to retouch them while smoking would take too much time which I don’t have.
The cigar is light to medium, and is good both for beginners and even for the experienced aficionados who like lightening up from time to time. It was very sweet all the way to the nub, although developed into more complex flavors of dark espresso with pepper notes at the end, leaving a very strong coffee aftertaste in the mouth.
So my final opinion would be that you hurry and buy a box or two of these wonderful stogies while they’re still in stock because they are great for an everyday smoke and for those who like puffing one or two while on break at work or in a cold morning, with a cup of hot coffee.
I bought a couple of boxes from www.My-Cuban-Cigars.com , and I’m still savouring them .I hope they’ll have some boxes left when I finish mine, so, guys, if you are reading my message, I will be back very soon, I hope you’re already waiting for me!
