I've had around a dozen, maybe more. I like them.

I've had several of the coronas juniors, they were tasty. I also like the Vintage line.
A popular legend holds that the favorite cigar of US President John F. Kennedy was the H. Upmann Petit Upmann, and that the night before the embargo was signed, he had aide Pierre Salinger procure every box he could gather from Washington, DC tobacconists, for a total of 1,200 of his favorite cigars.

Hi Chris,
I've smoked through a 1/2 dozen or so boxes of their Coronas Major and (obviously) really like them. Recent production is smoking very well young (I think). Actually I recently ran out and have been meaning to get another box so thanks for reminding me.
The only other H.U's I've had much experience with are their #2 and Sir Winston which are really tasty, (specially the Sir Winstons).
So I can recommend all of these but my go to H.U is the Coronas Major.

MMmmm... scotch. Another love.
The Sir Winston's are a really nice smoke. The Mag 46's have been spotty IMHO.
By the way...Check out my new sig-pic.
Popular among cigar aficionados are the No. 2, the Magnum 46, and the churchill-sized Sir Winston (named in honor of Winston Churchill).

Like many cigars, they abandoned the Camaroon wrapper years back during a shortage for a cheaper alternative (Java) and never went back. The java wrapper seems very brittle,tasteless to me ( easily dries out ). Therefore, I avoid the regular line of Upmann, R&J and any other Java wrapped cigar.
I have lots of Vintage cameroons and buy up every old vintage Upmann that is located. The construction, burn and taste are top shelf.

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.
