H. Upmann Cigars Vintage Cameroon

H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Belicoso

Cigar Aficionado · Jan 1, 2005

In the grand old days of the cigar business, Dominican H. Upmanns were wrapped in toothy Cameroon leaf. A chronic shortage of Cameroon in the mid-1990s prompted its maker substitute Indonesian wrapper. The taste changed. Today, Cameroon has staged a mighty comeback, allowing Upmann brand owner Altadis to start using it again. The result is this delicious line extension to the Upmann brand, rich in flavor and medium in body. The best part? The 6 1/8 by 52 cigar retails for only $6.

H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon

Holt's Staff Reviews · Jul 22, 2021

It’s time to revisit a classic Cuban-legacy cigar with a Cameroon wrapper – one that’s been on store shelves for decades from a brand that actually dates back to the 1840s: H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon. I’m smoking a 5 x 50 Robusto Larga. I call this an “old man cigar.” Why? Because I mostly associate older guys who’ve been buying cigars since before the 1990s as being the biggest fans of H. Upmann. Believe it or not, there’s still a contingent of smokers out there who look for boxes and bands that haven’t changed in years.
