H. Upmann Magnum 50's opinions

[Hot_Sauce]

I was just curious on what everyone thinks about the H. Upmann 2008 magnum 50's.

I've only been fortunate enough to try one but it was:starrylov

I have the tendency to age any CC I get from the same year since I always find them to be a tad young still. Have some in the humi waiting to be lit, though.

 

[gibbleguts]

I find them quite good for such a young cigar. Mostly I find them very soft and overly moist with some burn issues. Already though some of the early one are getting better. It has typical Upman flavors which are always very good and get better with age.

I'd be willing to test one in an attempt to corroborate your opinions, Hot_Sauce...

im with stone on this

I hear the 50 cabs are excellent, Very different from the LE of old which was much darker. A softer roll but with all the H Up flavor.

 

[terrantheman]

They are the best habano of 08... IMHO of course:waving:

I've been drolling over these... I've been good so far - patient.

 

[gibbleguts]

They are good but for me, my fav for brand new would be the epicure especial. It just seems to have better construction.

Never had any of these so I'm with nj and Rigil
and Chuck this may be a dumb question but what's an LE
(and don't say a law enforcement smoke!)

limited edition

The Magnum 50 was originally a limited edition release in 2005. It was only put into regular production this year?

Someone want to back me up or correct me?

(Haven't had either - but the Mag 46 is great & keeps getting better.)

Ye're right.

Have a few that I am waiting to burn as well, but perhaps I should give one a try just to make sure they weren't damaged during shipping :smokingbo

 

[gibbleguts]

Dave you have alot to try. I am hoping we will get some prefences from you at some point. That's why I skipped your PIF there were no CC's for me to aim at.:gangfire::gangfire::gangfire:
