About this cigar

The Banker honors H. Upmann's banking heritage and the cigars once presented to valued clients. Rolled in the Dominican Republic, the Annuity combines an oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican-Nicaraguan long fillers for a medium-strength smoke.

Aging & storage · Guidance

How to keep it

General humidor guidance for this cigar, based on its wrapper, strength, ring gauge and packaging.

Storage

Hold the box at 65–70% relative humidity at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Steady humidity matters far more than the exact number — swings are what crack wrappers.

Rest after delivery

Thicker ring gauges hold shipping moisture longest — give these boxes three to four weeks in the humidor before the first one.

Aging window

A medium blend like this holds well for a year or two; longer aging mostly smooths the finish rather than changing the flavour.

In the box

Age them in their own box where possible — the cedar keeps the cigars marrying together instead of taking on the flavour of everything else in the humidor.
