# H. Upmann Hispaniola by Jose Mendez Review #17

The Hispaniola has decent construction, the draw is good, nice burn line but it doesn’t hold a long ash. It is a medium to full bodied smoke. It starts out with a nice pepper taste that mellows as you smoke it and it picks up a slight natural sweetness. By Goomba on December 7 2025 11:10:51 AM

## Hispaniola

The Hispaniola has decent construction, the draw is good, nice burn line but it doesn’t hold a long ash. It is a medium to full bodied smoke. It starts out with a nice pepper taste that mellows as you smoke it and it picks up a slight natural sweetness. It has a very nice aroma. This cigar pairs nicely with coffee but is great with a good rum
