Featuring interlocking and contrasting wrappers for a stunning visual presentation, H. Upmann 1844 Barbier cigars will make a fine addition to your humidor. These gems are made into a classic and rare barber-pole design into a trio of popular sizes at Tabacalera de Garcia in the Dominican Republic.Hermann Upmann, the founder of the famous H. Upmann brand, first made his way to Cuba way back in 1843 with the intention of setting up an importing and exporting business, but he saw the potential in premium handmade cigars and decided to start his own cigar brand in 1844. Reflecting on his German heritage, these barber-pole treats are named Barbier, which is the German word for “barber.”For these eye-catching gems, they are made with expertly aged Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Pennsylvanian Broadleaf long fillers bunched within a nutty Indonesian binder. Draped over the multi-nation core are two top-quality wrappers, an Ecuadorian Sumatra and a Connecticut Shade, creating a striking juxtaposition with the golden and chocolate colors.Once you spark the foot, your palate will be coated by a balanced medium-bodied medley of roasted nuts, cocoa, cream, baking spices, tobacco sweetness, and cedar.
