Among the most important Cuban legacy brands you have H. Upmann. It was the first brand to add bands to cigars, and over the centuries notable figures like Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy have loved their blends. So after 180 year of business it might be an understatement to say that this brand is legendary.

So, who did the non-Cuban H. Upmann brand tap to manufacture a cigar for its historic anniversary? AJ Fernandez, of course. Taking a Nicaraguan Medio Tiempo wrapper and placing it atop an all-Nicaraguan mix, this robust, full-bodied cigar is strong without being overpowering. Smooth and well-balanced throughout, hints of spice, earth, and cedar flood the senses with flavor and aroma alike.
