H. Upmann 180th Anniversary (7×50)

Description

The 180th anniversary of the founding of one of the most influential cigar brands in history H. Upmann – is here!

This 7×50 Churchill is made by AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua and uses only Nicaraguan tobacco, including a medio tiempo wrapper. Medio tiempo is a priming of tobacco—the way a plant is divided into sections vertically—that is found above the ligero priming, typically the highest priming. It’s only found on certain plans and only some growers go through the effort of classifying it separately from ligero. Given its position on the plant, if a plant has medio tiempo tobacco growing on it, that tobacco should be the strongest tobacco from that plant. In recent years, a variety of manufacturers have marketed their cigars as explicitly containing medio tiempo tobacco. Oftentimes that tobacco was typically classified as ligero.
