In 1844, Herman and Carl Upmann traveled to Cuba to create a cigar that they could give to their important clients. Now, here we are in 2014, and this cigar has been recreated and released. This classic looking cigar from H. Upmann comes to you with a beautiful, shiny Ecuadorian Habano wrapper surrounding fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican. It has everything you need for a great cigar, now let's get this beauty lit up.
1/3 - The first few puffs you take of this cigar bring you an incredibly rich peppery flavor with a spicy almond finish. It's not an overwhelming spice, but overall, it is pretty strong. After you really get into it, the flavor already starts to change from the pepper to notes of creamy chocolate. The finish stays consistent through this section of the stick with the spicy almond flavors.
2/3 - About halfway through the cigar, we get yet another flavor change. Transitioning from notes of creamy chocolate to a coffee flavor with a spicy/toasty nut on the finish. The construction is flawless through this point of the cigar. You get a dead even burn, very easy draw, and good amounts of smoke.
3/3 - Alright, we're coming up on the end of the stick, unfortunately. The cigar ends with a nice, smooth nutty flavor combined with notes of leather, chocolate, and coffee on the finish. A nice way to end a phenomenal cigar from a phenomenal cigar company. I don't usually buy boxes of cigars, but this cigar is too good not to. If you haven't had one, pick one up here.
