Appearance:

The H Upmann Regalias come in a pretty aluminum tin which slides open to reveal 5 premium cigars.

The cigar is pretty firm and evenly packed from the head to the foot

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

The wrapper has a nice tobacco smell.

Burn/ Draw

Once cut, the draw is on the tight side, but not hindering the quality of the smoke. The aromas at cold are slightly spicy. The cigar lights up quickly and burns well. The first puffs give some aromas of green pepper and wood. The burn line is great and does not require any touch-up. The ash has a nice white color and is holding solidly.

Initial third:

The first third of the cigar is dominated by woodsy flavors and coffee. There are also herbal notes, sweetness, creaminess and some hints of toastiness. The cigar is pretty complex, and the flavors are mild in strength.

Middle third:

In the middle third, the flavor profile is similar to that of the previous third, with the addition of roasted aromas. This middle third is very pleasant.

Final third:

In the final third, some bitterness appears but doesn't hamper the pleasant smoking experience.

In summary, it is a very good choice for an everyday smoke, especially for new comers to Habanos.

Smoking time:

40 – 60 Minutes
