The brand will now be available to those looking for a handmade premium cigar in a convenient time-efficient vitola. This vitola has aptly been named, Papi. “Papi” is a term of endearment, frequently used by master blender A.J. Fernandez, for those close to him.
The H. Upmann Connecticut by Grupo de Maestros Toro carried a fairly traditional Connecticut shade profile with a slightly amped up strength level. While the flavor profile is pretty typical of many other Connecticut shade cigars, the price point for the vitola is attractive.
H. Upmann Connecticut by Grupo de Maestros was envisioned as a unique offering, bolder than other Connecticut cigars, and exuberantly brought to life in partnership with cigar master Rafael Nodal – the head of product capability for Tabacalera U.S.A.
Altadis U.S.A. is expanding its offering within the H. Upmann Nicaragua by AJ Fernandez line — a new Belicoso box-press size. The brand’s fourth size in the line.
For fans of AJ, this is a no brainier to try. For others, still worth a try to taste the new spin on an old traditional Cuban brand.
Featuring a Criollo ’98 wrapper with lush Nicaraguan tobaccos included in both the binder and filler, the H. Upmann Ingot does not disappoint, delivering dividends of a full‐bodied cigar with rich and exotic aromas.
