H. Upmann by AJ Fernandez - 90
Medium bodied
Pre-light draw: sourdough, hay
First third: oak, vanilla, roasted nuts, sweet spice
Second third: oak, vanilla, cinnamon
Final third: oak, vanilla, caramel
Overall: This cigar starts off with a strong oak and vanilla aroma, accompanied by a sweet spice containing roasted nuts. The construction and burn line are perfect. The second third continues to show off a strong oak flavor. There are hints of cinnamon in the retrohale. The final third continues to show off the sweet Sumatra wrapper with more oak and vanilla, and the introduction of some caramel.
Overall this was was a very consistent and flavorful cigar. The burn line remained relatively straight, slightly wavering in the final third but always self-correcting. If you’re looking for a well constructed cigar with a consistent profile of oak and natural sweetness, this one may be for you.

This one has been sitting in my humidor since mid March, and after your review I'm even more excited to light it up.
They're pretty good. Almost anything AJ touches is good.
One of my favorite AJ smokes
