    I have lots of Vintage cameroons and buy up every old vintage Upmann that is located. The construction, burn and taste are top shelf.
    This is very true of the domestic blend. It is bland, bland, bland.

    I was gifted a couple "authentic" Upmann #2's a while back. To be fair, I have sampled only a few and do not have the experience to rate them or characterize the flavors in standard cigar-speak. Also, I have no idea how well they were cared for or what age they were before I received them. They were not even remotely similar to the non-ISOM blend. I thought they were very good, but I would not break the bank to acquire more of them.
