H. Upmann The Banker

Description

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 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.
