Altadis U.S.A. is launching H. Upmann Nicaragua by AJ Fernandez Sunrise, the third expression in the H. Upmann by AJ Fernandez line.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sunrise is our take on a Connecticut done right,\u201d said Gabe Diaz, Brand Manager at Altadis U.S.A. \u201cIt\u2019s smooth and easy to enjoy, but it still has flavor and character. To kick off 2026, we wanted to give H. Upmann fans something balanced, high quality, and priced right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Master blenders Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez collaborated to create a cigar that rounds out the family with a Connecticut that complements the existing offerings.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were looking to craft a cigar designed for a smooth experience,\u201d said Rafael Nodal, VP of Product Capability for Tabacalera USA. \u201cThe Sunrise release rounds out the H. Upmann by AJ Fernandez line and provides consumers with a smooth, flavorful cigar that they can come back to again and again.\u201d<\/p>\n
The cigars are presented in 20-count boxes. The H. Upmann Nicaragua by AJ Fernandez Sunrise will be unveiled this April at the upcoming Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show in New Orleans and will begin shipping to retailers immediately afterwards. To support the launch, Altadis U.S.A will feature a \u201cSummer of H. Upmann\u201d campaign with various Trade and Consumer activations that will run from June through September 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Blend Details<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wrapper: <\/b>Ecuadorian Connecticut<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Binder: <\/b>Nicaraguan<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Filler: <\/b>Nicaraguan<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Strength:<\/b> Medium<\/p>\n H.
