H. Upmann

As one of the oldest cigar brands around today, H. Upmann has come readily to the lips of cigar connoisseurs for well over a century and a half. The name traces its roots back to 1844 when two brothers, August and Hermann Upmann, who are also attributed with the invention of the cedar box as a means to store cigars, started the brand in Havana. These days, the legend of H. Upmann lives on under the watchful eye of cigar master José Seijas. With the rich history and tobacco knowledge under the H. Upmann brand belt, any of the cigars in the lineup are quality premiums worth trying.

Although it's nearly impossible to find a legit Cuban cigar in the U.S., you can still get a sampling of Cuban heritage by lighting up H. Upmann 1844 Reserve. Outside you'll find an oily Ecuadorian-grown Habano wrapper that conceals a Nicaraguan binder along with a hearty blend of Dominican long leaves. While smooth and never leaving the realm of medium-bodied, your palate will be graced with creamy morsels of cedar, pepper, and earth with a touch of sweetness on the finish. Thoroughly enjoyable any time of day, there's no wonder why this Cuban brand received a '93' rating.
