H. Upmann Magnum 54 HR

The short 4 3/4 inch length makes it a great choice when I only have an hour to spare, and the draw stayed smooth from start to finish. Medium strength is just right for an afternoon smoke—not too heavy, but definitely not mild either.

The 54 ring gauge feels perfect in the hand, and that medium strength keeps things smooth from first draw to last. Got about 45 minutes of easy, balanced smoke out of it.

Pulled one of these out after a few months in the humidor and the draw was perfect right from the start. The 4 3/4 inch length gives you just enough time for a satisfying smoke without it becoming a commitment.
