About this cigar
H Upmann's Nicaragua line, blended by the esteemed AJ Fernandez, represents a thoughtful departure from the brand's Cuban-heritage profile without abandoning its core identity. This Churchill delivers the body and complexity H Upmann drinkers expect, but sourced from Nicaragua's finest growing regions. The result is a medium-to-full smoke with genuine backbone, not the pale imitation many expect from a modernized classic. The Sunrise wrapper carries a warm, honeyed character that builds into leather and cedar as the cigar settles. Mid-palate shows subtle cocoa and toasted nuts, with enough pepper to keep things interesting without overwhelming. The draw remains consistently open, the burn line true. This is a cigar for the established collector who appreciates heritage brands willing to evolve, or the retailer stocking for clients who want something familiar with an unexpected twist. At Churchill length, it's a 45-minute commitment perfect for the lounge's premium clientele between rounds or after dinner. The 20-count box makes inventory rotation effortless for accounts with steady demand for mid-range premium volume.
