H. Upmann Perlado Toro

We can think of several reasons why H. Upmann has been around for almost 160 years. But to net it out for you…They make some of the best cigars in the world today. Herman Upmann, a German banker, founded H. Upmann Cigars back in 1844. He distributed these cigars to his best customers as a promotion, but eventually they became one of the most popular Cuban brands smoked in the world. This brand is still currently manufactured in Cuba and the Dominican Republic as well. Unfortunately, we can't send you the Cuban brand, but we think that the Dominican brand is just as good, if not better. The Perlado features fillers from the United States and the Dominican Republic, a Dominican binder, and an ultra-smooth Sumatra Java wrapper leaf. It’s a creamy experience on the palate, with notes of leather, earth, oak, and peppery spice. This medium bodied Cuban-esque smoke pairs nicely with a cappuccino.
