This video provides insight into the H. Upmann 175th Anniversary Grupo de Maestros and Jose Mendez collaboration, a notable release from Altadis U.S.A. Unveiled at the 2019 IPCPR (now PCA) Trade Show, this cigar represents a partnership between the esteemed Grupo de Maestros – Altadis’s master blenders responsible for many premium non-Cuban H. Upmann lines – and Jose Mendez, a distinguished tobacco grower from the Dominican Republic. The Mendez family’s legacy in tobacco cultivation spans generations, contributing exceptional leaf to the industry.
The blend is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the Grupo de Maestros, who leverage their extensive experience and access to aged tobaccos, combined with the unique character of Mendez’s Dominican tobaccos. This collaboration aims to deliver a sophisticated and balanced smoking experience, reflecting the profound heritage and skill invested in its creation.
