The Herman’s Batch is a modern revival of the original H. Upmann blend, paying tribute to Hermann Upmann’s 1840s-Cuban roots. Crafted by Altadis USA’s top artisans and master blender Rafael Nodal, it blends Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos under a time-earned Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. It’s a storied bridge between heritage elegance and contemporary flavor richness — an emblem of legacy, depth, and boutique quality.
First third: Beginning with coffee-forward aromas that yield to cedar and leather, subtle baking spice emerges. The retrohale brings measured pepper warmth without overwhelming the palate
Mid-smoke: Cinnamon spice becomes more pronounced against a backdrop of mocha, wood, vanilla sweetness, and a creamy texture. Licorice/layered herbal notes make this phase particularly interesting .
Final third: Black pepper takes center stage alongside coffee/espresso, leather, and dark chocolate/mocha. Nutty notes and faint citrus or mint uplift the profile. Finish is lingering, balanced, and smooth .
Herman’s Batch fits Privada’s ethos by combining historical reverence with thoughtful blending. Its aged wrapper, collaborative craftsmanship, and layered flavor progression make it a nuanced, storied experience. It isn’t just sipping smoke—it’s a heritage journey, elegantly designed for the seeker of depth and tradition.
