Unlike many cigarillo versions of cigars, the The H. Upmann Nicaragua Papi is a handmade, premium cigar still rolled at Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. It uses the same blend as the original including an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Nicaraguan Corojo 99 binder, and Nicaraguan Criollo 98/Dominican Piloto Cubano fillers.
“We felt strongly that A.J. Fernandez could create a small 38 X 4 sized vitola, that would fill that need for those adult consumers looking for a premium short smoke,” says H. Upmann brand manager Candela Diaz. “The H. Upmann Nicaraguan Papi is a masterpiece blend, which will be housed in an attractive and convenient, easy to carry decorative tin.”
Each tin will contain six Papi’s with an MSRP of $23.10 for the tin ($3.85 single).
