Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

The construction of this Super Magnum is impeccable. The draw is excellent, providing a satisfying experience, with the slightest resistance. The raw aromas are delicate, with notes of walnut husk and a subtle hint of tea.

Burn/ Draw

After lighting the cigar, the Super Magnum performs admirably, delivering rich puffs brimming with fresh smoke.

Initial third:

Right from the beginning, an immediate explosion of delicate yet easily discernible aromas ensues, including cedar, tea, a subtle hint of honey, and the signature creaminess characteristic of H. Upmann cigars. These quintessential aromas of the brand are accentuated by the cigar's caliber, rendering them more rounded and harmonious. With a slightly dry sensation on the palate, it bears resemblance to the Magnum 56, another classic from H.Upmann. As the smoke progresses, nuances of cereals and wood become more pronounced, accompanied by hints of cinnamon. This cigar exemplifies the Cuban tabacalera tradition with its exquisite delicacy. Additional notes of biscuit, cream, cedar and cardamom further enrich the experience. The smoke is abundant and alluring. The burn, while not ideal, does not detract significantly from the overall enjoyment. Medium in flavor and strength, it leaves behind a sturdy ash.

Middle third:

All along the middle section of the Super Magnum, this cigar epitomizes the quintessential characteristics of an outstanding Habanos. With a sense of reverence, one needs to proceed slowly, savoring every puff. The delicate nature of the aromas prompts to suggest a light pairing, perhaps with rum or another distilled spirit. Sweet cocktails such as a mojito or a chilled raisin wine might risk overpowering the cigar's nuanced flavors, but could complement it well. The lasting impression left by this blend is its smoothness. It offers a breezy, effortless smoking experience, making it a definite winner.

Final third:

As the cigar enters its final third, the flavor profile remains consistent, retaining the signature characteristics of H.Upmann: smooth, creamy, and never overwhelming.

Summary:

In summary: if you're a fan of the brand's profile, the H.Upmann Super Magnum will undoubtedly delight you. Its remarkable smoothness, even in its youth, is a testament to the masterful blending of tobacco. Truly, this is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Smoking time:

1 hour – 1 hour 30 minutes
