# H. Upmann Hispaniola by Jose Mendez Review #16

My Sunday morning cigar and coffee ritual (when I fail to go to church). 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. By Goomba on December 7 2025 11:09:10 AM

## Sudsy Morning Chill

My Sunday morning cigar and coffee ritual (when I fail to go to church). 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.
