Very complex and favorable...the right balance of spices...You can tell it's been aged 5 full years. Right up there with Padron...Opus X and Davidoff!!

Overall consensus Many reviewers find the 1844 Añejo to be a good value, offering a pleasurable and complex smoke for its price point. The cigar is well-regarded for its rich aroma and satisfying flavor profile. Specific reviews are positive. Cubanesque' Flavor profile.

The H. Upman Añejo Toro runs into that higher quality you would expect with beautiful transitioning between each of the first, second, and final thirds. The stick cuts finely with little resistance but shows a grouped roll. It draws so well throughout, no pulling hard or rolled tight will be present. The ash is light gray and groups well, almost before the next third will it fall. Ranging from a cool caramel, nuttiness full of mild tobacco, and delving deeper into a heavier (and richer) tobacco that shines upon its earth and continues to make the palate full of bold nuances of pepper, somewhat leather, I even taste some type of note of a fig or something I cannot put my finger on. The Final third ramps up but not a hot smoke. DEFINITELY one that stays in my humidor year round. 9/10
