Hope these are the first of many.

it's been a while from i posted my thoughts here on a cigar that's genuinely impressed me!! sorry, i'll make myself clear....... i haven't had a bad cigar for a long, long time!! every so often, you come across one that blows your socks off!! for me, this was last night's h upmann magnum 50!!

as i mentioned, my intentions were to have a cohiba siglo IV i've had in the humi sincet xmas and/ or a partagas lusitania (from a 10 box i bought 2 years ago)!! anyway, when i went to the tupperdor to fetch the lusitania, i noticed something unusual, a wooden 10 ct SLB!! hoi hoi? what's this i thought? holy f**king cow, an unopened box of 10 h upmann magnum 50s!! you know things are bad when you can't even remember buying a box of cigars! lol!! checking the bottom of the box, i nearly fell back on my ass....... they were stamped 'URO JUL 08'!! when i opened the box, the aroma was AMAZING: chocolate, barnyard, creamy!! the cigars themselves were lightly dusted in bloom and had an almost maduro look to them!! oh, yes, i knew this was gonna be good.......

the cigar i selected looked stunning!! flawless construction, perfect cap, perfectly yielding with no hard spots!! rather than cut it, i opted to punch it!! the draw was a bit 'open' so i was glad i didn't cut the cap!! the cold draw hinted at what's to come, dusty chocloate, cream, light spice!! i really took my time to torch the foot right...... and i left it for a few minutes whilst i went and prepared some coffee (taylors java jampit, perfect)!! the first draw was beautiful....... creamy, just creamy!! before i turn this experience into james joyce's 'Ulysses', i'll give a quick run down of the experience:
1st third: creamy, nutty, milk chocloate, light spice (think nutmeg, cinnamon), hint of sweetness..... paired well with the coffee!

2nd third: the above, with the introduction of orange (think seville marmalade), caramel and butterscotch!! for this i got a glass of highland park 12 and cracked open a bottle of newcastle brown ale!!

final third: all the above, only it got more sweet and spicy...... with hint of peat (though that could be the whisky influence)!!

as you can guess, i nubbed this, singing my fingers!! i was so impressed at how solid and compact the ash was (which was blue/ grey) and how perfect it burned...... you would've thought i drew around the 'magnum 50' band with a felt tip pen it was that good!! anyway, it lasted a good 1.5hrs with no touch ups and no relights!! bliss!! easy a 92+ for me, and perhaps my cigar of the year (i can't see anything else beating this experience)!!

final thoughts: usually my cigars just about see the 3 year mark (i don't usually smoke anything with less than a year on it)!! with this experience, i can see the benefits of aging cigars!! it's gonna be hard keeping away from the rest of them.....

all the best,
