Paying tribute to the German brothers that founded the world-famous H. Upmann cigar brand in Cuba during the 1840s, the company now showcases the H. Upmann 1844 Special Edition Barbier cigar. The cigar's Barbier name translates from German to Barber, simultaneously signifying the enticing barber pole wrapper.

Indeed, H. Upmann 1844 Special Edition Barbier stands out in humidors with an attractive barber pole-style wrapper, offering an intertwining cover of Ecuadorian Connecticut and Ecuadorian Sumatra leaves. Underneath the hood you will find a Java binder and fillers from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Broadleaf (from an undisclosed region).

What does the H. Upmann 1844 Special Edition Barbier cigar taste like?

Medium in body and pleasantly flavorful, the H. Upmann 1844 Special Edition Barbier cigar is as fun to smoke as it is attractive in the humidor. The cigars differ from most barber poles in that both leaves are somewhat delicate. This makes for a less contrasting profile, with balanced flavors of sweet oak, lightly zesty cabinet spices, and toasted rye bread.
