New cigar, same story. Herman Upmann, a German banker, traveled to Havana and opened up his famous cigar factory in 1844, thus creating a legacy that would last centuries. This special edition barber pole was created to help commemorate the historical significance behind the name and cigar synonymous with quality and passion, H. Upmann. 
Using two wrapper leaves, an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade and an Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf, an Indonesian binder, and filler leaves from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, the 1844 Special Edition Barbier is packed with complexity. With every puff flavor notes evolve, changing from cedar and creaminess to pepper and baking spice to cocoa and aromatic floral sensations. Mellow to medium in strength, this cigar is worth a try for newbies and seasoned cigar nerds alike, so do yourself a favor and pick some up today!
