BLIND TASTING CIGAR REVIEWS
H. Upmann
Majestic
Length 5 1/2“ Ring Gauge 40
Filler, binder & wrapper - Cuba Manufactured in Cuba
A well priced cigar, for its size, the Majestic projects an image
well above its price bracket. The taste is somewhat more intense
than many Upmanns, but if you know what you are buying you
will be rewarded.

Aroma: “Average”
Personal View: “Average”
Comments: “Decent
construction, with a slightly
firm draw. Nuts and leather
predominated throughout the
smoke. There was one ‘sharp’
tasting draw mid way and I was
concerned this cigar’s flavour
was going to turn, but after a
flambé purge, it righted itself.
Fairly linear, not overly exciting,
but very smokable.”
Average Score: 6.00
Strength: “Moderate”
Flavour: “Acceptable”
Aroma: “Average”
Personal View: “Good cigar”
Comments: “Initial flavour was
quite harsh and peppery but it
rapidly mellowed and improved.
The burn was slightly uneven
and tightened mid way through
the cigar. The flavour developed
to an intriguing mix of spice
with a gentle strength. The cigar
was enjoyed with elderflower
wine in a relaxed beer garden.”
