One of the longest-running premium cigar brands that's still in existence today were founded by Herman Upmann in 1844. Crafted by Altadis U.S.A in the Dominican Republic, the original H. Upmann blend of cigars is highly revered and a favorite of many cigar aficionados. Renowned for their rich & robust medium-bodied flavors of toasted nuts, earthy spice, sweet cedar, black coffee, and warm leather. Presently, with factories in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, the brand has grown to include recognizable cigar collections such as the Connoisseur, Banker, Golden Nicaragua, Herman’s Batch, 1844 Anejo, 175th Anniversary and more.

Altadis U.S.A. unveiled its first H. Upmann national brand release of the year at the 2021 Tobacco Plus Expo in Las Vegas May 12–14: H. Upmann 1844 Classic

“The blend used for the 1844 Classic reflects the elevated tradition and heritage of the H. Upmann brand,” says Rafael Nodal, Head of Product Capability Tabacalera USA. “I am very proud of the passion and dedication of the Grupo de Maestros of La Flor de Copan, for crafting a blend that will satisfy seasoned cigar aficionados and those discovering the category alike.”

The 1844 Classic Cigar was designed by the same team of master blenders who were honored with the No.10 spot on the acclaimed Cigar Aficionado Top 25 Cigars of 2020 List for the Henry Clay War Hawk cigar.

H. Upmann 1844 Classic utilizes a next-level, ultra-premium Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper that evokes more strength and delivers a medium-bodied profile compared to traditional Connecticut-shade wrappers. The cigar is hand-rolled in Honduras using an array of hand-selected, aged-premium Honduran binder & filler tobaccos.

The result is a remarkably delightful & complex medium-bodied cigar with balanced strength and a solid core of flavors that finishes with a pleasant subtley-spicy nuance.

H. Upmann 1844 Classic Corona (5 x 44)
H. Upmann 1844 Classic Robusto (5 x 52)
