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 to the gills with vintage long-filler leaves from
Nicaragua and the Dominican, this bold treat is worth writing home
about. Spicy enough to keep you on your toes without overwhelming, the
blend is medium in body with a distinctly creamy texture and features
solid, earthy notes. It’s the perfect choice for your favorite hedge
fund manager, or for anyone who appreciates a well-made, intensely
satisfying Cuban-esque premium handmade with a bit of history behind it.
