More Details

This one comes straight from the vault.

Legend has it that Carl and Herman Upmann, a pair of ambitious German bankers, traveled to Cuba in 1844 with the intention of creating the perfect cigar. This top-secret blend was reserved solely for their most important (read: wealthiest) clients, and was locked in a vault to keep it away from prying eyes. Unfortunately, the bank burned down in the 20s, but luckily enough for you and me, attempts have been made to reintroduce this special concoction. That’s where H. Upmann The Banker comes into play.

Swathed in a super-dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and filled to the gills with vintage long-filler leaves from Nicaragua and the Dominican, this bold treat is worth writing home about. Spicy enough to keep you on your toes without overwhelming, the blend is medium in body with a distinctly creamy texture and features solid, earthy notes. It’s the perfect choice for your favorite hedge fund manager, or for anyone who appreciates a well-made, intensely satisfying Cuban-esque premium handmade with a bit of history behind it.

H. Upmann The Banker received a well-deserved 91-rating noting: "The wheaty and raisin-like aromas coming off the cold bouquet of the foot recur on the palate. The cigar also takes on cedary, herbal notes before a coffee finish."

The 1844 classic from H Upman was my favorite cigar until these arrived. They are a great smoke and an interesting different flavor and aroma than their cousin. Mind yourself if you try a Daytrader as they can pack a heavy punch at the end where as annuity is the same the entire smoke.

The cigars have a good flavor but they are a little tight on the draw. Fortunately, I have a cigar draw puncher that opens them up. They could also use a little aging to smooth out the flavor.

The Banker is overall a good cigar. The draw was a bit tight, good plume of smoke. The first third of the cigar was mild, getting stronger as I went into the second third. At the last third, it's strength was full, with a strong cedar and pepper taste. Wrapper held up good and burned pretty even, without touching up. These cigars came a bit on the dry side, so I left them in my humidor for a few weeks before I lit one.

The H. Upmann Banker is a phenomenal cigar. Great flavor profile and pull. The slow burn allowed for sidfient time to enjoy and relax. Can't wait for the next one and excited to order again. Highly recommend

The cigar is obviously outstanding it is often on backorder but well worth the wait. The taste is right there in the middle, not strong or weak! That's the truth. If you are a seasoned veteran you'll know what I'm talking about after you try. If you can't believe the Chaplain, who can you believe?

Oh the Banker. The first one was in a variety pack that my wife got me as a gift. I had to try it again to see if it was as good as my memories. It was, this has an easy draw, good burn, nice flavor.

My first time smoking a Banker Annuity blend and what a pleasant surprise! Excellent draw with a more full bodied smoke than a typical Upmann. It had a well rounded flavor with leather and chocolate up front and a peppery finish. The cigar burned very well, with a consistent burn all round and all the way to the end. Overall a great smoke. Highly recommend, particularly for the price.

Wanted to try an H Upmann cigar. Smoked one and not very impressed. Tight draw so flavor was lacking. I will let the remainder of my order rest in the humidor for a bit and then I'll revisit this review.

Friends i smoke with are mixed on the Upmann line. I personally like them- they're a stronger stick; nice ash, good smoke, looks like a classic cigar and tastes pretty decent. Hard to find, but worth it, in my opinion. Not everyone's whiskey, but they're always in my humidor.

I wish I could remember when I first had The Banker, but it started a decade of buying box after box. It’s just such a solid, perfect cigar for me. Deep Medium-Heavy flavor with that goes down as smooth as a Light. Many people remark that the smoke smells great to them.

A nice medium body cigar. Occasionally draw is hard as some are packed too tightly (1 in 5 or 10). Consistent burn down to the nub, flavor remains constant.
