★★★★★ Upman pyramid

Upmann #2: I don’t smoke many pyramids anymore. They became so popular that the quality seemed to suffer. A good one is heaven though. I bought a box of upmann #2 because CCG was out of the 46. I am quite impressed. Beautiful reddish brown silky wrapper and and what a great earthy taste I may have to start stocking this one as a regular in my humidor.

★★★★☆ Good shopping experience, Great cigars

The shopping experience was very good on the site. They stock a lot of smaller sizes and I'd like to see better large cigar options. Checkout was easy and simple. Shipping took a while, but the cigars showed up and they were tracked so no issues here other than be patient. The cigars are amazing.

★★★★★ Really good Cuban cigar

The number 2 starts out a little peppery, then transitions into those great Cuban flavors, I really dont know why, but both times i smoked the H Upman no.2 my lips got numb towards the end of the cigar. Really liked the flavors that came thru, Carmel, coffee and a little pepper. Would definitely buy more, CCG does a great job with packing and delivery of all the classic Cuban cigars. Would buy from no one else but CCG, because there there if you have any questions. And guarantee all cigars, any problems, just contact them and they will make things right if there's ever a problem.

★★★★★ Great Customer Service--Beautiful Cigars

The Upmann No.2s arrived and they look perfect. I usually the cigars down for at least six months and I am sure, like all orders I have received in the last ten years (Cohiba Siglio VI, Ramon Allones Specially Selected, Partagas D4s and P2s), they will smoke well. This shipment was delayed a few days by USPS missteps and the customer service folks were right on top of it. Thanks.

★★★★★ H. Upmann No.2

Loved this cigar. For those who are familiar with the videogame character Big Boss of the Metal Gear series, a cigar connoissuer had identified the character smokers a cigar inspired by either a H. Upmann No.2 or a Montecristo No.2. Bought both and found the H. Upmann more pleasant in taste and weren't as tight as the Montecristo No.2.

Shipping was on time and the H. Upmann #2 torpedoes arrived in perfect condition. Seals and labels intact with a box date of Feb 15. Passed the black light over the Cuban seal and the crest lit up brightly. Some bloom was evidence of proper aging and the uniform shapes and color were amazing. In the humidor now and resting for a future special occasion. Thank you CCG for bringing these treats to my door.

Reveiced a very good box of Upmann 2s. The box was slightly older, and the cigars had a wonderfull dusting of plume on them.

★★★★★ A very enjoyable cigar . . . . .

I was rather impressed with the H. Upmann No. 2. Construction was flawless and the aroma enticing. The burn was even and slow and the ash firm. The first third was creamy and the second third opened up with some complex spice once it was warm. The draw was consistent and it lasted for about 70-75 minutes. I enjoyed it with a glass of Havana Club dark rum, which enhanced the overall experience. Bravo, Herr Upmann!

★★★★☆ H. Upmann No. 2

As usual on my reviews I will only supply feedback on the service, since I always rest my cigars a couple of months prior lighting the first one. So that is why you need to build a robust supply of Habanos. Great service and company, if you are thinking rather to buy or not feel safe to place your first order. You will never complain from CCG Thanks !!!!!
