Upmann Magnum 50 by Cigar Inspector http://berris.wordpress.com/2008/10/18/h-upmann-magnum-50/#comment-134 Cigar Inspector Sun, 19 Oct 2008 09:02:49 +0000 http://berris.wordpress.com/?p=284#comment-134 It's interesting, I just smoked a couple of Magnum 50 and will be posting a review next week. I had similar experience (spice/cedar) in the beginning, but quite different stuff in the second half. Thanks for the review.

I have been making a list of my next purchase and will definitely pick up a few of these to try. Have tried GH Corojo 5 but while flavorwise it was not bad, I tipically encountered burn issues, draw issues (too free a draw...). Hello Bill

Great review. I have been making a list of my next purchase and will definitely pick up a few of these to try. Have tried GH Corojo 5 but while flavorwise it was not bad, I tipically encountered burn issues, draw issues (too free a draw…).

I actually just finished a Criollo torp a couple of nights ago, and it fit more with your description to me... thin, metallic, and with a rough edge to it... not nearly the smoothness that the robusto had. No issues with the fill though - go figure! :-) Thanks for the comment… I actually just finished a Criollo torp a couple of nights ago, and it fit more with your description to me… thin, metallic, and with a rough edge to it… not nearly the smoothness that the robusto had.

The draw seemed fine, but I was a little disappointed in the smoke production -- a little bit thin and metallic at times. Other than that they were enjoyable in a pedestrian fashion. I agree with your assessment -- nice sweetness from the wrapper and a mild spiciness, Overall I'd say this is a mild to medium bodied smoke, good for beginners, but a little bit bland for veterans.
