Typical H. Upmann taste, with subtle pleasant complex flavours of every kind, including the "tangy" taste of Montecristo, not found in other H. Upmann models. When decently aged, the "clean tobacco taste" blends with the subtle flavours in perfect balance. Classic "old school" Havana taste. Stronger than other average models. Strength 3/5 in the first 5 years, increasing to 4/5 after 5 years of age. Obviously made from extra first class raw materials. Ages extremely well. Beautiful color and good draw. This cigar might be the best H. Upmann model.
