H. Upmann 1844 Special Edition Barbier

The H. Upmann 1844 Special Edition Barbier cigar with its striking barber pole wrapper is an excellent expression of the fine art of cigar crafting. It is also a tribute cigar to the brand’s founder’s German roots. “Barbier” is German for barber. The wrapper combines an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade leaf with an Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed leaf to create its lovely contrasting barber-pole appearance. Also, the two leaves add depth to the cigar’s delightful smoking experience. The wrapper sheaths an Indonesian binder and a filler composed of Nicaraguan, Dominican Republic, and undisclosed broadleaf leaves. The cigars are handmade by Tabacalera de García in the Dominican Republic.

• Cigar Origin
  Dominican Republic

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

• Wrapper
  Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade

  Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
