H. Upmann 1844 Reserve - Belicoso (6⅛ x 52)

H. Upmann 1844 Reserve Belicoso carries forward a legacy that began in the mid 19th century, delivering a modern blend that emphasizes richness, balance, and refinement. Recently reworked to meet the evolving tastes of today’s cigar smokers, the 1844 Reserve now offers greater depth and complexity while staying true to the composed character that defines the brand.

Measuring 6 1/8 x 52, the 1844 Reserve Belicoso is finished with a leathery Ecuadorian Cubano wrapper that adds texture and warmth. Beneath the wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder surrounds a core of well-aged Dominican filler tobaccos. The tapered head helps focus the flavors, while solid construction ensures an easy draw and an even, reliable burn throughout the smoke.

The flavor profile opens with notes of earth and pepper, quickly joined by layers of wood, toast, and spice. Medium in body, the cigar delivers a thick, satisfying texture that builds steadily without becoming overpowering. As it progresses, the blend smooths out, leading to a rich, velvety finish that lingers comfortably on the palate.

H. Upmann 1844 Reserve Belicoso offers over an hour of relaxed enjoyment and is well suited for smokers who value flavor balance over sheer strength. Approachable yet complex, it is an excellent choice for any time of day and a fitting example of how tradition and modern blending can come together to create a truly rewarding smoke.
