A Shade Above Others: Introducing H. Upmann 1844 Classic
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Altadis U.S.A. will unveil its first H. Upmann national brand release of 2021 at this year’s highly anticipated Tobacco Plus Expo in Las Vegas May 12 – 14.
Described as a “next-level shade,” the H. Upmann 1844 Classic presents a medium- bodied cigar that features an impeccable, Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper over a perfectly balanced blend of Honduran tobaccos that boast flavors of toasted almonds and cocoa with a subtle spicy nuance.
Produced at La Flor de Copan in Honduras under the expert tutelage of the renowned Grupo de Maestros, the H. Upmann 1844 Classic is a welcome addition to the already versatile H. Upmann 1844 heritage line of premium cigars. Joining the H.

“The blend used for the 1844 Classic reflects elevated tradition and the heritage of the H. Upmann brand,” says Rafael Nodal, Head of Product Capability Tabacalera USA. “I am very proud of the passion and dedication of the Grupo de Maestros of La Flor de Copan, for crafting a blend that will satisfy seasoned cigar aficionados and those discovering the category alike.”
The 1844 Classic was created by the same team of master blenders who were honored with the No.10 spot in the acclaimed Cigar Aficionado Top 25 Cigars of 2020 for the Henry Clay War Hawk. The 1844 Classic is a cigar that appeals to a wide range of adult premium cigar smokers because it a smooth cigar that is also complex and full of flavor.
