Flavor Profile and Smoking Experience

The H. Upmann Super Magnum offers a medium-bodied yet incredibly complex and elegant smoke. It reflects the brand’s signature creamy, aromatic style but with added richness due to the larger ring gauge and longer length.

Tasting Notes:

• First Third: Starts smooth with notes of cedar, sweet hay, and almond cream, accompanied by floral undertones.

• Second Third: Builds complexity with light coffee, toast, and honey, supported by a gentle, evolving spice.

• Final Third: Deepens into earth, nutmeg, leather, and a soft vanilla sweetness, with a long, refined finish.

Expect a slow and cool burn with thick, aromatic smoke and flawless construction. The smoking time is typically 120–150 minutes, making it ideal for long, relaxed sessions.
