H. Upmann Sir Winston Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017 - Single Cigar
The H. Upmann Sir Winston Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017 is an ultra-premium, museum-grade masterpiece that represents the absolute peak of contemporary Cuban luxury. The Gran Reserva designation is the highest honor Habanos S.A. can bestow upon a blend, and the iconic "Sir Winston" format—named after the legendary British Prime Minister who favored this exact shape—was chosen to showcase the maximum aging potential of the historic brand.
Architecturally, this rare smoke is a 100% Cuban puro constructed using precious wrapper, binder, and filler leaves harvested exclusively from the ultra-fertile fields of the Vuelta Abajo zone during the 2017 crop year (Cosecha 2017). In accordance with strict Gran Reserva criteria, all components were aged independently in specialized bales for five full years before assembly.

First Third: The smoke opens with an exceptionally elegant and aristocratic introduction, completely clear of any youthful bite. Velvety notes of premium cedar wood, delicate cream, and white field flowers blanket the tongue. The retrohale is completely rounded, carrying a gentle hint of sweet honey rather than sharp pepper.
Second Third: Moving into the heart of the Churchill barrel, the flavor profile sweetens further, developing a rich and luxurious density. Dominant traits of warm roasted nuts, light vanilla pastry, and fresh café au lait step forward, underlined by a subtle and complex herbal background.
Final Third: The conclusion scales up in focus while remaining impeccably balanced and smooth. Sublime layers of dry oak wood, light baker's cocoa powder, and a closing wave of warming baking spice harmonize flawlessly, finishing exceptionally clean and fragrant.
