The H. Upmann Hispaniola by Jose Mendez Toro stands out with its 6 1/8" x 52 parejo shape packing Dominican filler tobacco wrapped in Sumatra leaf. This $176.74/box medium-full bodied smoke celebrates traditional Dominican tobacco techniques while delivering creamy transitions from nutty sweetness to spicy finish. Perfect for after-dinner sessions requiring 90+ minutes smoking time.
The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper delivers roasted almonds and cedar notes with underlying dark chocolate sweetness. Moderate smoke output with tight ash formation.
Cream texture intensifies alongside baking spices and espresso flavors. Watch burn line - tends to canoe if puffed faster than 45-second intervals.
Peppery kick emerges with leathery depth. Mineral accents linger through nose exhales. Nicotine buildup becomes noticeable at 70-minute mark.
Hand-rolled in José Méndez Toro's Dominican factory using 3-year-aged Piloto Cubano filler. The Jalapa-grown binder supports Sumatra wrapper's oil-rich combustion. Box-pressed format enhances flavor concentration.
Pair with aged rum to amplify caramel undertones. Dry-box for 48 hours pre-smoking - the Broadleaf wrapper benefits from 62-65% humidity. Cut shallow to maintain draw resistance.
