The H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Lonsdale mesures 6 5/8"x44 with a sandpapery, Cameroon wrapper. The cigar features a filler blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Peruvian tobaccos. The stick is packaged nicely (as seen in the picture above). Ok, let's get this cigar reviewed.
When you get the cigar lit up, you get some black pepper notes mixed with a sweet tobacco flavor accompanied by a short, spicy finish. The 1/3 point of the stick has an uneven burn, not bad enough that you have to touch it up, a perfect draw, and it produces a lot of smoke.
The 2/3's point brings more flavors to the palate. An earthy/wood flavor is coming in. It's harsh, but very rich. On the finish, I'm getting a very salty tobacco finish. A different combination, but enjoyable. The burn has evened itself out, the draw is exactly the same, and still producing nice smoke. So far a very easy cigar... mild-medium bodied.
3/3's to the end keeps all the flavors till the end. The salt, tobacco, pepper, earth, and wood are still there, but the finish has shortened out. Easy cigar to smoke, good price, easy to recommend... go pick one up. Thanks for reading.
