To celebrate 175 Years of the world-famous H. Upmann brand, Altadis U.S.A once again turned to master blender AJ Fernandez to create this milestone smoke called the H.Upmann 175th Anniversary Churchill cigar. This 175th Anniversary is a Nicaraguan puro that uses only rare medio tiempo tobacco leaves found on the highest parts of the tobacco plant that have been aged for three years before being assembled. Covered by one of oiliest and silkiest wrappers that I ever seen on a handmade, I was greeted with exceptionally smooth medium to full bodied notes of sweet cream, leather, white pepper, cashews, and vanilla. Thanks to the exceptional blending skills of AJ Fernandez, the legendary H.Upmann brand gets a fitting tribute for making some of the world’s best cigars since 1844.
