About this cigar
H Upmann's 1844 Reserve line honors the brand's founding year with a blend that channels old-world Cuban tradition into a meticulously crafted Corona. This is a cigar for retailers and lounge owners who stock for the discriminating customer who remembers when premium meant something specific: balanced strength, impeccable construction, and a flavor profile that develops rather than shouts. The Corona format delivers H Upmann's signature creamy texture wrapped in a medium-brown Habano wrapper that ages gracefully. Expect warm spice and subtle cedar on the palate, with hints of cocoa and leather emerging in the final third. The draw is consistently open, the ash holds firm, and the burn requires minimal touch-ups. This is a working cigar for the businessman's lunch break or the evening wind-down after a long week. At 25 count per box, the 1844 Reserve Corona slots perfectly into the premium-but-not-stratospheric tier that moves steadily in upscale lounges and hotel gift shops. Pair it with a good Scotch, dark roast coffee, or aged rum. For buyers seeking a house cigar that respects tradition without apology, this delivers.
