H. Upmann Mag48 LE

[GreekGodX]

I've been sitting on these lovely, 4.3x48 bombs, for about a month now and finally decided to try one. My expectations was this cigar would fall between the Mag 46 and the Mag 50, but Upmann decided to make this one shorter.

My experience with LE's have been well, limited. I have not had the opportunity to smoke many, regardless this cigar is going to become a go to cigar for me. The explosion of flavors after you get this cigar going is monumental. Between the espresso, charcoal and deep-milky chocolate flavors this cigar is extremely rich and a delight to my taste buds. This cigar compares favorably to a Sir Winston, and for me knocks out the other Magnums. All the way through rich chocolate. I would call this a medium bodied cigar and maybe a medium+ towards the end nicotine wise. Again the flavor is very full body and just coats your mouth.

My only complaint is that it wasn't longer! The cigar last about 1hour 15 minutes for me but that chocolate lasted until the end. A little youth showed through toward the end but with some more resting these will be even better. I cannot wait until the next one!

Sounds good! Had a 50 and loved it. This is more my size, though.

I had one of these the other day and loved it. :ccool:

I have one I've been holding onto. I love the 50's & especially the 46's - after a year or two, they seem to open up in flavor dramatically. I'm hoping that the 48's do the same, though, from all reports seem to be smoking well ROTT.

Never had the 46 but the 50 is one of my favorite cc's!

I agree (without the comparisons to other sticks -- haven't tried them) with your review. Took one, nearly right out of the box and it was as stated, for about 5/6's of the cigar, then it went green. I'll be happy when these lil guys grow up. Fit my palette to a T.

[tcampbel]

Love the 46. Haven't had a chance to try the others. Thanks for the review.

 

[s0leful0ne]

Great Stick, but i Like the 46 a bit more and the 50 a bit less. I'll have to do a back to back to back one of these days.

....Larry you won't be sorry. The 50 is a good smoke.

 

[tubaman]

I don't like it.

Maybe you could tell us why with all of your wisdom? Or are you just a stupid spammer?

 

[Nupe05]

Had one this weekend.. It was fantastic.. I ordered another box almost immediately once I got home..

Thanks a lot for the review...now I am on the hunt for these. Great review bro, thank you...:stretchgr

 

[RobustoMoe]

Thanks for the review bro. These cigars are actually great, I really enjoy 'em and plan to buy a couple of boxes (one for aging while the other is for smoking)

 

[Padron_26_64_4_Me]

Thanks for the review. Sounds like something I need to get my hands on a few of.

I'm intrigued by this cigar, it sound wonderful based on the flavour profile but the size is quite lacking imo. I'm not a fan of short smokes. But for the right price I'm considering picking up a box. Though maybe I should sample some before committing to a box of these since the size does worry me some. I do love the Mag 50 and 46 though. I truly wish that the 48 had come out more in between the 46 and 50 in size.

Great review! I really love the 46 and 50 and continue to enjoy them. I have a few sitting in my humodor waiting to be enjoyed.

I've tried several of the 46's hoping to get a "good one", as everyone around me raves about them. But I just don't like them. I guess I am the minority who doesn't like the 46.
