Oh hey, what a fabulous smoke this thing was! I'm serious, this cigar was awesome! And uh, I didn't pay a dime for it. Well, thats BS, but my return bomb to Euan doesn't go out till tomorrow. ;)

Holy Cow, this stick caught me off guard a bit, it was way better than I expected. Oh sure, I didn't think it would suck or anything, but I didn't think it would be better than the Montecristo's I've smoked lately, and I didn't even remotely think it would come as close as it did to the Esplendido I had at Table Rock. (Thanks again, Matt)

No, this is, for my taste anyway, a world class smoke! This was in the same flavor class as the Esplendido and the Edmundo, spice, coffee, earth, leather, chocolate, floral notes and sweet Cuban tobacco. It didn't quite rival the Cohiba, but it was a smidge spicier, tho the coffee and chocolate notes weren't quite as nice.

No matter, this, IMO, is a solid ass 96 rated smoke. :)

Oh, hey, guess I should give you some numbers. Nice size at 6.5" x 50. And decently priced at about $8.25 per. Thats much cheaper than a lot of "premium" sticks out there.

I've heard better things about the Mag 50 then anything else in the H Upmann line.
Probably half the price of the Cohiba?
Thanks for the review!

I saw this thread yesterday and decided to wait and see who the newest "player" is. I'm guessing Euan is mrkalashnikov? What a fine Scottish name!
:thumbup:
Oh, nice write up Rick.

I could certainly see keeping these on hand. :)

Cost, Mag-50 $8 to $9
Esplendido $18 to $20, and thats box price, not if buying singles.

But hey, when you are an industries benchmark plus you're verboten in the worlds largest economy, well......

Besides, Fidel needs the money! ;)

No, Klash is another Matt. :embarrassed:

Euan is a young guy I know from a different forum who made the mistake of whining about not being familiar with premium non-Cuban smokes. Heh, next thing he knew he was sending me an aged Cuban sampler via Royal Mail. :naughty:
