Upmann 1844 Classic is a next-level blend. The new H. Upmann 1844 Classic is a medium-bodied cigar that features an impeccable, Honduran- grown Connecticut Shade wrapper with perfectly balanced f lavors of toasted almonds, cocoa f lavors and a subtle spicy nuance. The H. Upmann 1844 Classic joins the already versatile H. Upmann 1844 Heritage line of premium cigars with the likes of the 1844 Vintage Cameroon, 1844 Reserve and the 1844 Añejo, offering cigar enthusiasts an elevated complexity rarely found in shade wrapper cigars. The 1844 Classic appeals to premium handmade cigar smokers who enjoy a smooth cigar without sacrificing complex f lavors. The Perdomo Inmenso Seventy is blended with five-year aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan tobaccos and is offered in three sizes: Robusto (5 x 70), Epicure (6 x 70) and Churchill (7 x 70). The Perdomo Inmenso Seventy Sun Grown is a medium-bodied smoke with a five-year aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper that gives this cigar a smooth spiciness along with a blend of five-year aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan fillers. Perdomo describes this cigar as having a “rich, earthy flavor with hints of cedar and spice on the finish.” The Perdomo Inmenso Seventy Maduro is a medium to full-bodied smoke with a five-year aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper that gives the cigar a rich sweetness. The Per- domo Inmenso Seventy Maduro also has five-year aged Cuban- seed Nicaraguan fillers and is said to have an outstanding aroma and complex flavors with hints of oak and espresso on the finish. A new robusto vitola will serve as a line extension of Maya Selva’s Cumpay Maduro cigar line. Cumpay is a Nicaraguan puro, meaning it is made with all Nicaraguan tobacco. It features a wrapper from Jalapa, a binder from Estelí and other Nicaraguan-grown tobaccos for the cigar’s filler. This is a medium to full-bodied smoke that will be offered in 20-count boxes. Cumpay Maduro Robusto will be a regular production cigar and will make its debut in the U.S. market at this year’s TPE21 trade show in Las Vegas.
