I smoked one of these H. Upmann half coronas a few months back. Really enjoyed it. I finally went to my tobacconist yesturday and picked up a tin. Good value and great smoke. I also always wanted to try the "Kennedy" smoke. He explained that they started machine rolling the petite corona, but these corona junior is exactly what Kennedy smoked, this one is hand made. Perfect quick winter smoke.

After really enjoying the H. Upmann Regalias and Half Corona in late 2012, I really wanted to try the Royal Robusto. Well, when CA scored it 94 points and it found a #6 spot in the top 25 cigars out of 700 smoked this year, I had to grab a box of 10. Can't wait to fire these babies up!

Great Choice... You won't be disappointed. After trying one with a friend, I was instantly hooked.

I'm awaiting a shipment from oz land of box of 10. 2011 stamp. Can't wait to light em up.

I found them young when I was last in cuba, deff has potential to be a great stick down the road. Could have been the single I had as well. Enjoy your purchase :)

Just got some great sticks. The ones I am very excited about are the H. Upmann 520 commemorating 520 years since Columbus landed. I also received 3 R&J Short Churchills, 12 RASS, and 12 Hoyo Epicure#2's. Let the ashtray start to fill!

Might I ask where you got the 520s? And how much? Been looking for some myself only to come up short.

When you do smoke them, mind doing a back to back comparison with the royal robustos. I read somewhere the h Uppmann 520 blend was a minor tweak of the RRs.

Otherwise very nice pickups all around.

I actually split a box with my buddy Jeeper (thats on this site). $90 in cuba for the box of 10. I'm sure they will be around $400 here. He got them in cuba this week, my LCDH hasn't gotten them yet. I will try my best to remember to due a review...I won't be smoking them for a while, like to age them. If I can wait, lol. Regards,

wow nice score on the 520's looking good.

I think I need to make a trip to windsor soon.. ;)

where in cuba do you guys find is the best place to visit and get cigars?

do you find if you go over your 50 will they take it from you or do you just get dinged in taxes back in canada?

I'm planning a trip but dont know where to go/stay. all help is welcomed and can be sent in PM so as not to clutter this thread.

I've only been once to Cuba, stayed in Varadero...something like the "Princess Del Mar" if I remember...it's been a few years. Always buy cigars at the LCDH in Cuba, to ensure real cuban cigars, not fakes. Airport also leaving is good for purchase.
