H. Upmann

We can think of several reasons why H. Upmann has been around for almost 160 years. But to net it out for you…They make some of the best cigars in the world today. Herman Upmann, a German banker, founded H. Upmann Cigars back in 1844. He distributed these cigars to his best customers as a promotion, but eventually they became one of the most popular Cuban brands smoked in the world. This brand is still currently manufactured in Cuba and the Dominican Republic as well. Unfortunately we can't send you the Cuban brand, but we think that the Dominican brand is just as good, if not better. The Torpedo featured this month is rolled using a blend of Olor and Cuban seed Piloto Cubano tobaccos and is wrapped in a silky, Indonesian shade-grown leaf. While overall it is a medium-bodied cigar, the taste is full, smooth and mellow. A touch of sweetness on the lips and in the aroma make it a great cigar to pair with your favorite dessert.
