H. Upmann 1844 Reserve

Hailing from the Dominican Republic and newly revamped and re-blended, H. Upmann 1844 Reserve is the signature cigar from H. Upmann, and now they're better than ever. H. Upmann is a brand with strong Cuban roots and is iconic among long-time cigar smokers. This is their core line and consists of a Dominican filler blend, a binder from Nicaragua, and a jaw-dropping Habano wrapper from Ecuador. This is the classic cigar flavor profile that every cigar, fanatic, young or old, should be required to try at least once. 1844 Reserve opens with a solid central flavor of earthy raw tobacco. There is white pepper both on the inhale and the finish and a vast array of creamy, nutty flavors in-between. A constant aroma of cedar lingers in the background throughout the smoke, making this classic a true replica of the Cubans of old. H. Upmann 1844 Reserve is medium-bodied and a great beginner cigar. Many long-time connoisseurs still keep a steady supply of 1844s in their humidors for those special occasions that call for classic cigar taste. 1844 Reserve pairs well with coffee and scotch and is in the same category of Cuban-rooted cigars as Punch, Romeo y Julieta, and Partagas. H. Upmann 1844 Reserve is among the legends of the cigar industry.
