Tasting Note

In the grand old days of the cigar business, Dominican H. Upmanns were wrapped in toothy Cameroon leaf. A chronic shortage of Cameroon in the mid-1990s prompted its maker substitute Indonesian wrapper. The taste changed. Today, Cameroon has staged a mighty comeback, allowing Upmann brand owner Altadis to start using it again. The result is this delicious line extension to the Upmann brand, rich in flavor and medium in body. The best part? The 6 1/8 by 52 cigar retails for only $6.
