Description

Legend has it that Carl and Herman Upmann, a pair of ambitious German bankers, traveled to Cuba in 1844 with the intention of creating the perfect cigar. This top-secret blend was reserved solely for their most important (read: wealthiest) clients, and was locked in a vault to keep it away from prying eyes. Unfortunately, the bank burned down in the 20s, but luckily enough for you and me, attempts have been made to reintroduce this special concoction. That’s where H. Upmann The Banker comes into play. Swathed in a super-dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and filled with vintage long-filler leaves from Nicaragua and the Dominican, the blend is medium in body with a distinctly creamy texture and features solid, earthy notes. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who appreciates a well-made, intensely satisfying Cuban-esque premium handmade with a bit of history behind it.H. Upmann The Banker received a well-deserved 91-rating noting: "The wheaty and raisin-like aromas coming off the cold bouquet of the foot recur on the palate. The cigar also takes on cedary, herbal notes before a coffee finish."
