H Upmann by AJ Fernandez Robusto
Created in collaboration with AJ Fernandez, H Upmann by AJ Fernandez Robusto brings a distinctly Nicaraguan perspective to one of the cigar world’s most established names. This 5 x 52 Robusto is handmade in Nicaragua and features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 binder with Nicaraguan Criollo ’98 and Dominican Piloto Cubano fillers, resulting in a medium to full-bodied profile with more depth and spice than many smokers expect from the H. Upmann name.
The blend leans rich and savory, offering notes of cedar, dark roast coffee, hazelnut, and smoky sweetness, with touches of cabinet spice adding extra definition. In Robusto form, it delivers that character in a concise, flavorful format that usually allows for about 45 to 65 minutes of smoking time, depending on pace. Smokers who enjoy fuller modern blends but still want some of the balance associated with H. Upmann will find plenty to appreciate here.
