Yes, this cigar is indeed special. This is a line extension to the ever popular H. Upmann Original, but with a little added flare. It is hand rolled in the Tabacalera de Garcia factory using vintage Dominican and Brazilian tobaccos for the filler followed by a rich Dominican leaf for the binder. Its wrapper is an exquisite Indonesian Java leaf that adds a touch of sweet spice. These cigars are each wrapped in a cedar sleeve, that add great notes of nuts, cedar, and a slight extra spice to each cigar. If you enjoyed the Original, the Special Seleccion is right up your alley.
