Altadis U.S.A. have announced the limited-edition H. Upmann 180th Anniversary cigar which commemorates the cigar brands beginnings in 1844. The cigar, a 50X7 Churchill size, will be presented in a 10-count box. Only 5,000 boxes have been produced. In addition to these boxes, Altadis U.S.A. will also release 180 special-edition, numbered humidors – each containing 50 exclusive cigars in a 50X6 Toro size.
This Nicaraguan blend was created in collaboration with Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez using a medio tiempo wrapper from a hybrid seed that underwent an enhanced fermentation process, which is similar to the H. Upmann 175th Anniversary which was the Dojo’s number 5 Limited Edition Cigar of the Year in 2019.
Rafael Nodal, Head of Product Capability for Tabacalera USA, states: “We are proud to pay tribute to the 180th Anniversary of the H. Upmann brand with this exceptional cigar. The blend features a complex variety of Nicaraguan tobaccos from different regions, providing an array of flavor nuances and aromas.”
To further celebrate H. Upmann’s 180th Anniversary the brand has partnered with luxury bespoke hat maker, Wild Hats, to create a commemorative H. Upmann 180th Anniversary fedora style hat. Only a limited number have been produced and will be presented at Altadis U.S.A.’s booth at the PCA trade show. The Wild Hats team will be making hats in the booth.
