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.

I've never been one to venture the morning smoke, but I bought a box of Upman Cristales and they're certainly not a medium-full bodied cigar, but they have nice construction and an even burn. Their flavor isn't the most complex, but I'm sure it'd make somebody a nice morning newspaper cigar, after all, the lonsdale length is good for about 1.5 hours and you could easily take that long on a newspaper. I bought the box in the winter for around 38 dollars, so I didn't feel cheated. So, if anybody wants a morning cigar, I think I have a few more of these lying around.

P.S. They are better with age, that is for sure.

I got one from a pass and was looking forward to smoking it. It wasn't what I expected. I wouldn't be running out to buy a box. Am I willing to try others in the line sure just not willing to pay $4.50 for another one of those.

No, I'm saying that non-Cuban cigars using Cuban names "suck" you said that, I didn't.

that non-Cuban cigars using Cuban names like "Cuban so-and-so" suck or that a Cuban brand's Dominican or Honduran counterpart brand sucks, e.g. RyJ Habana vs RyJ Dominican, etc.

I wish you'd be more detailed in your explanations as this is getting to be very confusing.

Now...as far as Upman Cigars.......THEY suck.....the non-Cuban variety I mean
