H. Upmann Edicion Limitada

[Snake Hips]

Has anybody seen or tried this cigar? The guy from my B&M showed me one, and it looked delicious, and I want to try one. BUT I can't find this bugger anywhere. Is it not out yet, or did I dream seeing that cigar? It has a completely black band with all the features, words and designs gold embossed, and a second "Edicion Limitada" band that's a direct copy of the Cuban band. It was a robusto of 5 inches and like 54 ring guage.

Google only brings up crap about the Magnum 50, nothing about the NC cigar.

For some reason I've been interested but disappointed in this marca lately, and I just want to see if I could find a good one. And this one looked good...

I've heard of it at one point.. I know its a version of H. Upmann Signature(which I hold in my hand as I type this).

Signature, eh? Any good?

I had one of these back in June while in Chicago. It was a very tasty cigar, but I did have some burn issues with the stick. I haven't seen it since then. I personally like the HU Signature line, especially the Double Eagle.

Crap, imo. Just like all the nc "EL's" I feel funny just typing that. :r

RyJ has one too. About $15-17 IIRC.

Altadis put out 4 NC Els. H Upmann, Montecristo, RyJ, and Trinidad. They are all the same blend. The only thing that the brand denotes is its size, other than that wrapper, filler, and binder are the same.

The link also has a retailer locater.

Hope this helps solve you mystery!:tu

Interesting, thanks. All the same blend? Geeze, lame...

I'm going to have to look into this Signature Line...and the Tubos Gold...
