Altadis USA to Release H. Upmann Barber Pole

It looks like Altadis USA has discovered the barberpole. Recently they released a Romeo y Julieta in the same shape as the Fuente Short Story with a barberpole motive completely copying the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Between the lines. And how they are releasing the H. Upmann 1844 Special Edition Barber in five sizes

The cigars have Ecuadorian wrappers, Connecticut and Sumatra with a binder from Indonesia. The filler comes from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and an undisclosed location. The cigars will be available in corona, robusto, Belicoso, toro and Churchill.

“The use of these contrasting shades of wrappers makes for an eye-catching, barber-pole-like presentation,” said Pedro Ventura, handmade operation and product development manager of Tabacalera de Garcia, via a press release. “The wrappers work together to add an entirely new flavor profile to the cigar, making one’s smoking session a lot more interesting as well,” he added.H.
