H Upmann 1844 Reserve Belicoso
H. Upmann 1844 Reserve Belicoso is the torpedo-shaped expression of a long-running blend that helped reintroduce the line with a fuller, more modern profile while still reflecting the brand’s old-house pedigree. Made in the Dominican Republic, it pairs an Ecuadorian Cubano wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican long-fillers for a richer style than many smokers expect from H. Upmann.
The Belicoso format gives this cigar a tapered head and a more focused delivery, complementing the blend’s depth without making size the whole story. Expect a medium to full-bodied smoke with a balanced mix of earth, spice, cedar, leather, and a touch of sweetness. At 6 1/8 x 52, it generally provides about 70 to 90 minutes of smoking time at an easy pace. This is also the exact vitola that earned a 93 rating and a place at No. 15 in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2012, making it one of the line’s most recognized sizes.
