(Ft. Lauderdale, FL) -- A spokesman at the company called it "perhaps our finest H. Upmann yet."
Embodying H. Upmann’s long tradition of fine cigar making, the new
1844 Reserve was introduced at this year's IPCPR show and began shipping last month.
From its intricate and complex flavor sensations to its great white ash, the new 1844 Reserve captures everything aficionados have loved about H. Upmann cigars, and then some! This superb, fuller-bodied smoke is handcrafted in the Dominican Republic and features an Ecuadorian Cubano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and Dominican filler tobaccos.
H. Upmann 1844 Reserve is available in a (33 X 4 ½ ) Demitasse size, which is packaged in boxes of 60 and has a suggested retail price of $2.25 per stick. Larger sizes include
Corona (44 x 5 ½),
Robusto (50 X 5),
Churchill (50 X 7),
Belicoso (52 X 6 1/8) and
Toro (54 X 6). Suggested retail prices range from $5.25 to $6.75.
Another great new smoke from Altadis U.S.A. is in the cards. Diamondback.
Smooth, mild and aromatic, with just a touch of sweetness, the new Diamondback cigar also began shipping in July.
Diamondback represents a major launch for Altadis U.S.A. "We’re very excited about this introduction," said an Altadis U.S.A. spokesperson. “Diamondback will be a very important new product for us.”
Ranging in price from $4.25 to $5.00, this new cigar is a great value as well as an excellent smoke.
Blended in Nicaragua by Omar Ortez, Diamondback features a hand-selected Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper encasing a Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The cigar is available in four sizes: Corona (44 X 5 ½), Churchill (52 X 7), Robusto (54 X 5) and Toro (54 X 6). It is packaged in boxes of 20.
