H. Upmann Launches New Cigar

Havana, Nov 21 (Prensa Latina) As part of Cuba''s strategy to present new highest-quality cigars every year, the release of the new H. Upmann Half Corona international cigar was announced on Monday.

Producers say the vitola has a format that allows enjoying an authentic Cuban cigar under any circumstances.

The flavor of this cigar, said the report from the international corporation Habanos S.A., is particularly suitable for those who want an aromatic, balanced cigar that presents a smooth to medium fortaleza.

The Half Corona (ring gauge 44 mm x 90 mm long) is in keeping with the needs of many short-format cigar aficionados, without sacrificing the fullness of the quality of these Premium cigars.

The Half Coronas bound or composition is composed of leaves from the Vuelta Abajo area in the western Cuban province of Pinar del Rio, where the world's best tobacco is cropped.

This form is incorporated into the H. Upmann brand as an invitation to a short smoke of a pleasant blend. The box has 25 units, and there is also a five-unit pouch that will hit the market in 2012.
