H. Upmann The Banker Daytrader

Daytrader is a small‑batch, contemporary take on The Banker that leans Sumatra in both look and flavor. The darker Ecuadorian wrapper carries a cocoa‑toned sheen and a slightly oily, bumpy Sumatra surface; construction trends toward a clean draw and consistent burn. The blend—Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers—opens on cocoa, toasted cedar and earthy tobacco, with a soft graham/cream sweetness underneath. A light black‑pepper spice and cedar note assert themselves as the cigar develops; body generally stays in the medium range, though some samples show a modest step up in nicotine and intensity. It's an approachable, modern riff on H. Upmann's Old‑World temperament: smoother and a touch sweeter thanks to the Sumatra wrapper, but still straightforward and well behaved in the humidor and on the tray.
