LonsdaleI had one from a friend and really enjoyed it but after buying a box from JR's totally changed my opinion. Horrible draw bitter taste and poor construction throughout the ten that I've gone through. I actually threw two away after not being able to keep them lit all the way up the cigar. Terrible cigar. I'd rate this one a Do Not Buy.151

LonsdaleMy all-time favorite cigar was the h. Upmann 2000 which came in cedar boxes of 25. I still have 2 boxes of them for a special occasion. These were form the original line that stopped production in the late '90's These are the closest that I have come to that particular cigar. Oh did I say yummylicious?351

LonsdaleFabulous all around and more satisfying than an Upmann would normally be because of the heavier body Great construction gives you a firm mouth and perfect old school draw551

LonsdaleI ordered this cigar on the reviews here I don't know what they're smoking but it can't be this cigar. I ordered a box a month ago and the cigars won't stay lit and about half way down on most the wrapper begins to peel open. I had one that looking like a load exploded. One of the worse I've ever smoked.251

LonsdaleVery unhappy with this cigar. I've been smoking them for several years but last 2 shipments were awful. They were not packed correctly so they tunneled and some cases I couldn't keep them light.
I then tried a larger ring size. They were better but still had some issues. So I'm done no more Upmanns for me.251

LonsdaleI've tried three of the Upman offerings so far and liked each one. This cigar was sweet and mild and the good taste lingers on the palate. Had one touch up but that's ok. Draw was a little constricted but not too bad. It did get a little harsh at the last 1 1/2. One of the best tasting cigars I've found in my quest so far. For under $4.00 it's a real winner.451

LonsdaleI’m not gonna lie, I really, really wanted these to be phenomenal. Maybe my high expectations are partly to blame. The cigar itself looks fantastic. Came out of the cedar sleeve with a touch of bloom on an oily dark wrapper. Firm with some veining. I thought my expectations were going to be met, but right away I had to shift gears to give it some time to burn in. It doesn’t have a tight draw per se, but it also doesn’t easily yield a lot of smoke.
Here’s what I found by accident. I put it down for a few minutes to help one of my sons and when I got back to it, it had cooled and evened out. A soft pull works much better than a hard draw on these.
Overall, it became a better smoke. That being said, had I not happened upon a solution, I would have walked away and not returned.251

Returning to the original top-quality African Cameroon wrapper that made this cigar legendary. The H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Lonsdale retains its medium-bodied strength profile and signature flavors of nuts, sweet spice, cedar, and coffee. Packaged in boxes of 25 this classic stick is a wonderful choice for cigar smokers that want to experience the exceptional taste of a brand that has stood the test of time.
