H. Upmann - 1844 Classic Churchill
Great Budget Cigar
This is a great cigar that won’t break your wallet. For me it started out smooth, creamy with hints of vanilla with a floral retrohale that segued to notes of coffee . A great breakfast cigar.
H. Upmann - 1844 Reserve Corona
A Rather Disappointing Cigar
I was rather disappointed with this cigar. It’s a shame because I’ve had other H. Upmann cigars that were superb. The draw was difficult and it went out half way through. The sad part is the smoke itself was rather tasty. Live and learn. You get what you pay for.

A Most Excellent Smoke
I throughly enjoyed this cigar. I found it smooth with notes of coffee and leather. I’ll be revisiting this cigar again.
Warped - Kings Stride 2oz
Afternoon Delight
King’s Stride is one my favorite go to afternoon blends. It’s bright and sparkling with a citrusy note in the retrohale. But the cigar leaf gives it a certain earthiness.
G. L. Pease - Abingdon 2oz
My Daily Favorite
Abington has quickly become my go to blend. Abingdon is not too strong, not too mild, just right, an all day smoke. I particularly enjoy the floral/citrus notes on the retrohale.

A Sweet Mild Smoke
The cigar started out with a tough draw that turned smoother as the smoke went on. This is a good cigar to practice the retrohale on. It’s very mild with notes of a sweet grassiness that turns creamier as the cigar burns on. Finally, it had a very even burn all the way through with no needs for a touch up.
