El Presidente Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Some fact, some fiction, some filler to bind the two http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/why-cuba-s-best-cigar-still-hot-despite-52-year-embargo-163595
potpest Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 The comments certainly contain some serious fiction
SofaKing Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 "There are actually two H. Upmann brands these days: the ones made in the Dominican Republic that Americans can buy and the ones made in Havana that they can't." I will pass on the Banker they so painstakingly recreated from the original and enjoy my Mag 46 I'm currently puffing on in the good ole USA. 4

I will pass on the Banker they so painstakingly recreated from the original and enjoy my Mag 46 I'm currently puffing on in the good ole USA. You aint lying !! I have smoked the banker with its pretty green label and white paper shroud for decor . its ok but not even close to the real deal
ShortFatHokie Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I stopped reading at Altadis USA... But, yeh, Cuban Upmann's are some of my favorite. 1
HarveyBoulevard Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 The comments certainly contain some serious fiction Quote from the comments... "I love when there are brands like this. There is no distinguishable difference between the Cuban and the Dominican cigars, except for the brand. The brand adds so much to the actual product that it becomes iconic. Although, I wonder if Cuban grown cigars would have such a following if not for their legendary rarity. Do Cuban cigars actually taste better than the Dominican ones, or is it all the scarcity effect. I’m not a smoker, so I could be entirely wrong." That last bit is my favorite part... I did enjoy the illustrations though.
skalls Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I have yet to find a copied cuban brand sold in the states that I like.
garbandz Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 If I were King, I would see to it this writer was put to cleaning out stables for a while. If he is going to spread horseshit,he should be shown the difference.........
dflan82 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Well, if nothing else it inspired me to light up an Upmann... 2
KoreanCowboy Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Nice article but those Dominican Upmann's are HORRIBLE! I love my NC's but you won't find an Altidas stick in my humidor. They have ruined too many good names. Would love to try one of JFK's Upmann petits.
