Press Release: Altadis U.S.A. Announces The Banker

April 15, 2014 — Celebrate the richest moments of life with Altadis U.S.A.’s newest cigar, “The Banker” by H. Upmann. This exciting bold cigar boasts an earthy and toasty smoking experience and will begin shipping in late April 2014.

German bankers Carl and Herman Upmann traveled to Cuba to craft an exceptionally unique cigar in 1844. They locked it in the vaults and gave it as a special gift to their most important clients. After almost 170 years, Altadis U.S.A. has gone to great lengths to recreate this original blend with “The Banker.”

Using a dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder from the Jalapa region, and aged Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers, this exquisite new cigar is rich and robust with notes of coffee and spices.
“The Banker” by H. Upmann is available in three sizes: Currency (48 x 5 1⁄2”), Arbitrage (56 x 7”), and Annuity (52 x 6”).

Priced from $7.00 – $8.40, and made in the Dominican Republic the new rich, robust, and slightly spicy H. Upmann is sure to please even the most demanding cigar aficionados.
