H. Upmann disappointing

[Kenyth]

I had a buddy pass to me an H. Upmann tubo lonsdale. The label said nothing but 1844. I tried it yesterday with high expectations and I was sorely disappointed. Nothing special at all. The first thing I noticed was that the cigar was a little light for it's size, and seemed rolled a little loose. I thought maybe being a tubo, it was a bit dry? It didn't feel dry though. The cigar had a good feel to it and the wrapper didn't flake. At any rate, this cigar was no better than any other medium bodied Nicaraguan economy smoke I've had (Don Kiki Red Label comes to mind). Not terrible by any means, but nothing special either. I had thought H. Upmann to be a premium brand, and a tubo to be a better quality smoke.

And imagine, I was saving it for a good occasion!

When something has a big name and is supposed to be good, and you don't find it good, you wonder if something's wrong with you.

Thanks! You've laid my fears to rest! Now, on to better smokes!

H. Upmann is a fine name as far as a CUBAN cigar but it has absolutely, positively NOTHING to do with the garbage they produce under that name in Honduras.

The ONLY thing non-Cuban cigars have in common with Cuban cigars of the same name is the NAME ONLY. Different companies, different tobacco, different countries, NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING in common with one another AT ALL, NADA ZIP, NOTHING.

Sorry if I was a little repetitive

Now let me see if I'm perfectly clear on this CC.

Are you trying to say that the Cuban and non-Cuban companies of the same name are not the same thing and their products suck?

Don't hold back and candy coat the issue like before . Tell us how it really is.
