This was one of the bigger years for Altadis USA. First they celebrated the 50th anniversary of their Tabacalera de Garcia factory, which was the theme behind their new Montecristo Cincuenta release. It was also the 175th anniversary of one of the most storied brands in the cigar industry. In 1844, the H.Upmann brand was first introduced in Cuba and it has gone on to be a staple of the premium cigar community. To celebrate this monumental occasion, AUSA has crafted no just one of the finest H.Upmann cigars ever, but in my mind one of the best AUSA cigars ever.

The H.Upmann 175th Anniversary is a limited edition cigar produced for AUSA by the legendary Nicaraguan blender AJ Fernandez. Rolled at his factory in Esteli, this Nicaraguan puro features a special wrapper tobacco. It is a three year old medio tiempo leaf, which is the highest on the tobacco plant. Its fermentation process was quite unique where the tobacco was inserted between broadleaf tobaccos to a quite unique profile. Notes of deep rich coffee and chocolate combined with a dash of spice and dried fruits to create a flavorful but incredibly smooth cigar.

This limited edition cigar is available in a single vitola, a staunch 7X50 Churchill. There are two available packaging, a standard box of 10 or a limited edition 50 count Anniversary humidor. To celebrate this new addition to our inventory, we are offering a one time special on this fantastic new cigar. For the next week, if you buy a box of the H.Upmann 175th Anniversary, we are going to give you a lighter and ashtray worth $60… for free. Come celebrate the historic and riveting new H.Upmann 175th Anniversary here at Cigars.com.
