(A review by an apprentice aficionado)
My first Upmann Mag 46 was very nice. A lovely start of leather and honey, which remained throughout the first and second, later joined by a buttery smoothness in the second, all of which transitioned to a burnt caramel in the late second/early final third. I chose to leave the cigar halfway through the last third as it became decidedly bitter and I didn’t want to ruin the beginning tastes.
I have been looking for a cigar, which would potentially be my first box of cigars to purchase and this is a good contender in my list.
Despite being considered light to medium in strength, I find this Corona Gorda to be exceptionally mild and on a level with the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.1 (a cigar of the same size but of a supposedly lighter body). Construction is good and the presentation of this cigar in an SLB cabinet of 25 delights the eyes. It can almost be tasted before being set fire to. The delivery of smoke is consistent however, to my dismay, so is the flavour. It starts sweet and smooth and continues in the same manner until the end. It is by no means a bad cigar and dies in the ashtray with its dignity still intact. A good morning smoke but can barely be tasted after a substantial meal. Consistency, however, is key and this cigar never fails to deliver what you expect of it.
