The Upsetters is Foundation's reggae-themed release, and it arrives in a genuinely unusual spread of wrapper options — candela, Connecticut and maduro boxes, across five vitolas from a 4.5-inch belicoso to a seven-inch Rock Steady.
The packaging is loud and easy to dismiss. The cigars are not. Each wrapper takes the blend somewhere different: the candela grassy and bright, the Connecticut soft and creamy, the maduro dark and sweet. Buying across the three is the point.
