Brand Heritage
The Upsetters is a boutique cigar brand that takes its name and spirit from the legendary reggae and ska session musicians who backed some of Jamaica's most iconic artists — bringing a rebellious, creative energy to everything they produce. Known for blending bold character with approachable craftsmanship, The Upsetters has carved out a niche in the infused cigar market by offering smokers something that feels both expressive and well-executed. Their Django line reflects that same spirit: unapologetic, flavorful, and built for those who want their smoke to make a statement.
Blend & Construction
The Upsetters Django Robusto is a Nicaraguan-made infused cigar presented in a classic Robusto format — 5 inches in length with a 54 ring gauge — offering a shorter but notably substantial smoke thanks to its wider body. As an infused cigar, the Django line is crafted to deliver added flavor beyond what the tobacco alone provides, though specific wrapper, binder, and filler leaf details for this blend are not widely published. In keeping with what is typical for the line, the Nicaraguan tobacco base is expected to provide a medium-bodied backbone that supports rather than overwhelms the infused flavoring elements, resulting in a balanced and intentional smoking experience.
Flavor Profile
In keeping with the Django line's infused character, smokers can expect an inviting and aromatic experience from the first light. The Nicaraguan base tobaccos lend a natural earthiness and mild spice that grounds the blend, while the infusion introduces complementary sweetness and added complexity throughout the smoke. The draw on the 54-ring Robusto tends to be generous and smooth, producing a full, creamy cloud that carries the infused notes well. Strength is best described as mild to medium, making it accessible without feeling flat. The flavor profile is likely to remain consistent and pleasant through the midpoint, with the infused character staying present rather than fading — a hallmark of a well-executed infused cigar.
Recommended Pairings
Alcoholic Pairing: A coconut or spiced rum — the natural sweetness and tropical warmth of aged rum echoes and enhances the infused character of the Django Robusto without competing with it.
Non-Alcoholic Pairing: A medium-roast iced coffee or cold brew — the subtle bitterness and smooth body of cold brew complement the sweetness of the infusion while keeping the palate refreshed between draws.
Best Enjoyed
The Upsetters Django Robusto is an excellent choice for casual, relaxed occasions — an afternoon on the patio, a backyard gathering, or an evening wind-down. Its infused profile and mild-to-medium strength make it particularly welcoming for newer cigar enthusiasts or those transitioning into infused cigars, while still offering enough complexity to satisfy intermediate smokers looking for something a little different. Expect a smoke time of approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Sold in boxes of 20, the Django Robusto is well-suited for sharing or stocking as a go-to crowd-pleaser.
