H. Upmann 1844 Anejo Toro Cigars
A new cigar that is a combination of an old, well-regarded brand and old, finely aged tobaccos, the H. Upmann 1844 Añejo Toro is a creamy smooth and medium-bodied treasure sure to delight both adventurous and mild-mannered smokers alike. As the name embossed in the brown and gold label suggests, H. Upmann stogies have been around in one form or another since 1844, but this succulent treat is the first of the brand to be classified ‘Añejo’, which those rum or tequila aficionados among us will recognize as signifying ‘Vintage’ (Hint: great beverage pairing choices!). What it means is each leaf of the Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan filler and every oily inch of the Pennsylvania Broadleaf binder and Ecuadorian Habano wrapper have all been aged at least five long, leisurely years.
There’s something special about the smell of expertly fermented tobacco that’s been allowed to rest for extended lengths of time. Instead of a bright, pungent scent that shocks the senses, mature cigars like the H. Upmann 1844 Añejo Toro caress the nostrils with a rich, warm, and earthy aroma reminiscent of baking spices and brown ale. The smoke that pours through the steady draw is equally as fragrant, all while the tastes of oak, tanned leather, black tea, gingerbread, buttercream, and dried stone fruit flow across the palate in waves of ever-shifting complexity.
For those excited enthusiasts who are just beginning to discover long-aged cigars, you’ll learn like the rest of us that there is often a remaining core of strength behind the genteel first impression, so expect the 6” X 54 H. Upmann 1844 Añejo Toro to peak medium-full if you’re aiming for the nub. Once you’ve gotten the itch, however, it’s time to meet some of the other rocking old-timers like the Rocky Patel Vintage series and AJ Fernandez’ Dias De Gloria.
