H. Upmann’s old-school name gets a sharp new twist here, rolled at Tabacalera de García in the Dominican Republic with a barber-pole mix of Ecuadorian Connecticut and Ecuadorian Sumatra over an Indonesian binder and Dominican, Nicaraguan, and broadleaf fillers for a medium-bodied smoke. Cedar, orange peel, cream, and light spice lead the way, while the Belicoso shape keeps the whole ride neat, bright, and nicely sweet on the finish.
