H. Upmann The Banker

I was gifted a single H. Upmann The Banker Daytrader Whale cigar by a good friend of mine, and I have to say it was love at first puff! This big 6 x 60 stick is handmade in the Dominican Republic using a beautiful, seamless, Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper atop a Nicaraguan binder and a two-nation long filler blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco. The cigar burned like a champ, held a long white ash while delivering rich medium bodied flavors of spice, nuts, cocoa, and cedar, that had me glued to chair throughout the duration of the smoke. Since I posted this glowing review, I have added a box of these gems to my humidor and plan on buying many more.
