H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Sunrise Robusto

The H. Upmann Sunrise Robusto is AJ Fernandez and Rafael Nodal taking the classic Connecticut profile and steering it in a richer, more flavorful direction. Measuring 52 x 5, this Robusto is on the plump side – definitely from AJ’s San Lotano Requiem side of the street in size, but true to H. Upmann form with the creamy character you expect from a Connecticut cigar.

Wrapped in a silky Ecuador Connecticut-seed leaf over Nicaraguan tobaccos that have been grown, fermented, and aged by AJ Fernandez himself, Sunrise is smooth but not sleepy: the Sunrise Robusto is quick to offer notes of cedar, roasted nuts, coffee, and soft cream, backed by a subtle natural sweetness and not-so-subtle pepper and spice.

This Robusto size in an excellent pick for morning coffee, and an even better selection for afternoons and evenings. Mild-to-medium-bodied with plenty of flavor, it’s Connecticut done the AJ Fernandez way: smooth, yet packed with Nicaraguan character.
