Arbitrage Great looking and smoking cigar. Medium flavors of earth & spices. 5 5 1 December 27, 2018 Steve F.

Arbitrage The Banker begins with a hearty profile of leather and earthy notes accompanied by a bed of spice. On the back end of the flavors some dry cedar is found which really stands out the retrohale along with peppery spice. Just past the inch mark chocolate begins to peek through on the finish of the smoke. The burn produces a white ash that is holding firm well past an inch. 5 5 1 December 14, 2018 Steve F.

Arbitrage The Banker series is outstanding. The consistency is wonderful every time you get one you know you are in for a treat. The flavors are very enjoyable however they are not that complex. 4 5 1 October 25, 2018 Brooks G.

Arbitrage What can I say I love h upmann cigars and this one is no exception. They have a great aroma and construction draw and Aroma was delightful 5 5 1 May 5, 2016 RANDY C.

Arbitrage I bought three of these at three different locations and wasn't very impressed. For me it was an overall ok experience. 3 5 1 April 30, 2016 Roger W.

Arbitrage Overall they smoked great but the flavor is not for me. I smoked five of them over a months time and everyone tasted bitter start to finish. A very consistant flavor from one to another and were easy to smoke just too bitter for me. 3 5 1 April 9, 2016 Andrew A.

Arbitrage H Upmann is usually a consistently excellent brand however the Banker series fails to sincerely impress. It is a quality smoke to be sure but not of a quality truly worthy of the H Upmann brand. While the blend of tobaccos remains flavorful the dreadful inconsistency of construction is unavoidable. At an $8.75 per stick msrp one should not expect to find cigars so loosely rolled that they literally pinch flat upon application of gentle pressure. One should expect even and consistent burning ( without the need for relights) in addition to quality complexity of flavor. Perhaps these inconsistencies are to be expected. All cigar lines in the struggle to expand market share roll out new varieties. Sometimes these new varieties are successful and sometimes less so. How are the mighty fallen? When they commit more focus to excellence in packaging than excellence in construction. Going forward I will stick to the standard H Upmann cabinet selections. They are vastly superior in my judgement. 3 5 1 March 7, 2016 MICHAEL R.

Arbitrage This is an always consistent smoke!! I'm head over heals for this one of a kind smoke!! I recommend to all 4 5 1 February 1, 2016 Jacob B.

Arbitrage This is a tasty cigar unlike anything else I have smoked. It is not for the faint of heart or for those who don't have a long amount of time to smoke. Finished the cigar in about an hour and a half gently coaxing the flavors. The draw was not the best but slightly understandable as the cigar is so firmly packed. 4 5 1 January 1, 2016 ALAN C.

Arbitrage I haven't actually smoked one yet I have two in my humidor resting for about 3 months. Waiting for a special occasion. They look and smell great. 3 5 1 November 28, 2015 Nicholas M.

Arbitrage Super slow cool burning gem. Don't start with this thing planning to finish in less than 3 hours. It's a beauty. 5 5 1 November 14, 2015 PAUL F.

Arbitrage Very woody leafy grassy taste. 4 5 1 November 13, 2015 KAYE B.

Arbitrage Boy what an awakening ! I could not believe how good this cigar was it looked like a decent cigar. After I lit it up and let it burn a short while I was amazed at how smooth and tasty it was but what really caught me off guard was it stayed that way thru the first two thirds of my smoke! The last third was better it was slightly richer and flavorful but still not hot and peppery. Best surprise I've had in a long time. I will keep buying them as long as they keep making them 5 ****. 5 5 1 November 9, 2015 David F.

Arbitrage I'm not a big fan of H. Upman cigars but this had more flavor than their regular fare. If they go on sale try one or five. 3 5 1 October 12, 2015 STEPHEN S.

Arbitrage This Banker is just a steady as she goes tried and true winner. Nothing overly remarkable just a good solid cigar at a fair price. 5 5 1 October 12, 2015 Robert S.

Arbitrage The banker is a good cigar. I personally liked it but didn't love it. I am a big flavor guy and to me there just wasn't enough flavor for me I tend to like a more complex flavored cigar. With that being said the draw and consistency were great. Very smooth draw nice cool thick smoke. It's a great cigar for the begginer trying to broaden their horizon 4 5 1 October 12, 2015 Chris B.

Arbitrage This cigar is great from the start to finish. Smooth oily wrapper and a nice medium to full bodied smoke. Great draw and consistency. 5 5 1 October 12, 2015 JAMES S.

Arbitrage I didn't think anything of this stick until I tried it and boy was I surprised! Upmann really went above and beyond with this stick and it is so tasty! 4 5 1 October 9, 2015 ANDREW C.

Arbitrage Tried this smoke out of curiosity because it was one of the specials at the time that i dropped in the store. Thought it would be better than it was but i know this is sometimes the case with many cigars. Construction was good. Did not come apart. Taste wasn't anything that that would set it apart from others. Decent everyday smoke although i would pick others over it. Overall it was an okay cigar. 3 5 1 October 8, 2015 CHRIS M.

Arbitrage This is a whole lot of cigar about alittle over an hour burn for me and pretty strong from the first taste it doesn't really build in intensity and alittle spicy 4 5 1 October 8, 2015 MARK G.

Arbitrage The Banker is just money in the bank. It's smooth classy and rich. A definite must-have in the humidor this one is as great to smoke as it is to share. It burns solid down to the knuckle and has a memorable but not overpowering flavor. You wont't be disappointed if you're looking for a well-constructed medium smoke with lots of mojo. Get a fiver if you're on the fence and it will not dissapoint! 5 5 1 October 8, 2015 Travis H.

Arbitrage I tried two of these both of which had some consistency issues with the cigar fill. there was smooth flavor in this mild cigar. 3 5 1 October 8, 2015 Ken L.

Arbitrage Smells great smoked 1 the rest are being aged would try again would buy again highly recommend to those who like a medium to heavy smoke both flavor and strength wise 5 5 1 June 9, 2015 Cole A.

Arbitrage I've been smoking H. Upmann cigars for years. I use to buy boxes of H. Upmann's when you offered the signature series and they are great cigars. I wanted to try a box of The Banker and about 3 of them had a very hard draw. There were a couple that had very tiny holes in the cigar so it was more like puffing air. All the rest were great! I will get another box sometime in the future. Good cigars are expensive and it is disturbing when there are some bad ones in a bundle or box. 3 5 1 June 8, 2015 LOU C.

Arbitrage Tastes great and we'll constructed. Elegant taste and burns smoothly. Nice packaging as well. Impress your guests with this one. 4 5 1 June 8, 2015 PAUL C.

Arbitrage This is a fabulous smoke. It's good to see the Upmann name on a large size cigar again as I believe it has been many years since they released a cigar of this size. I bought a box of these about a year ago and have pulled one out of the humidor when I need to treat myself. Typical Dominican mild smoke with a nice filler blend to give it some unique characteristics. The five pack is a great way to keep a few around for those occasions. I did run across a little bit of inconsistency but isn't that what handmade cigars are all about? 4 5 1 May 27, 2015 JIM H.

Arbitrage Fantastic cigar brand. I enjoyed the long cool draw from the cut. The taste was consistent throughout. 4 5 1 May 27, 2015 MICHAEL L.

Arbitrage Very nice cigar all around. 5 5 1 May 22, 2015 RIC B.

Arbitrage Very enjoyable! A good long smoke with a smooth flavor and easy draw. Slight inconsistency of fill. Does tend to grow stronger in the last half but then I smoke down to the nub. 4 5 1 May 19, 2015 JESSE B.

Arbitrage A little dry. Cracked when I smoked the first one. Haven't had another yet. Disappointed. 2 5 1 May 18, 2015 CHARLES E.
