H. Upmann 1844 Reserve Robusto

The H. Upmann 1844 Reserve Robusto is the modern embodiment of the Dominican blend that put the H. Upmann brand on the map. This blend has seen it’s fair share of change over the years, but the 1844 Reserve is by far the best representation of the classic H. Upmann flavor and strength profile. It features a solid filler core of Dominican tobaccos with a Nicaraguan binder leaf. The wrapper is an attractive Ecuadorian Habano leaf with a nice reddish-brown color. It is a solid medium bodied cigar that features tasting notes of earth, toasted nuts, and cedar with hints of pepper and maple syrup. The H. Upmann 1844 Reserve may not look as modern or exciting as some of the other H. Upmann marks, but it delivers a solid, everyday smoking experience.

In 1843, a German banker named Hermann Upmann moved to Havana, Cuba to open an import/export business for a German firm that bought and sold tobaccos. In 1844, he purchased a small local cigar factory, and soon after the 1st H. Upmann cigar was born. Hermann could never have imagined that his little endeavor would become one of the world’s best known cigar brands. He was known for his innovation in the tobacco business and is credited with being the 1st cigar maker to package his cigars in cedar boxes. Honoring that commitment to innovation is what Altadis’ Grupo de Maestros is all about. Their guiding principle is to push the boundaries of a brand, while honoring the traditions and heritage of the brand’s past.
