Puro Evi

H. Upmann (Nicaraguan)

Jalapa / Estelí, Nicaragua · 1844'den beri

H. Upmann is a name that carries the weight of puro history dating back to 1844, when German banker Herman Upmann established his legendary brand in Havana, Cuba. The Nicaraguan iteration of this storied label, produced under the umbrella of General Cigar Company, represents a thoughtful reimagining of that heritage on Central American soil. Drawing on tobaccos grown in Nicaragua's prized Jalapa and Estelí valleys — regions celebrated for their volcanic, mineral-rich earth and high-altitude growing conditions — this series delivers a medium to full-bodied smoking experience that balances refinement with boldness. Notes of cream, toasted nuts, and gentle spice greet the palate early, gradually giving way to deeper expressions of dark chocolate, cedar, and earth as the smoke progresses. The construction is characteristically precise, reflecting both the classic H. Upmann tradition of elegance and the robust potential of Nicaraguan leaf. For those familiar with the original Cuban lineage, this Nicaraguan chapter offers a compelling parallel narrative — different in soil and climate, yet unmistakably connected by a commitment to quality and complexity.
