算起来，阿塔迪斯公司首次发布乌普曼金锭（Ingot）到现在已经有八年时间了。这款雪茄算是乌普曼的银行家系列的分支产品，雪茄外包装盒设计的类似金锭。如今，阿塔迪斯公司复刻了这款产品，也采取同样华丽的外包装，预计11月22日向零售商发送首批产品。

这款限量版产品每盒12支装，在美国的售价是每支15美元，一共生产5000盒。价格还是相对实惠的。雪茄56环径，7英寸，丘吉尔型号，以Arbitrage（套汇）命名，很好的呼应了这个品牌的银行家主题。

新款限量版的烟叶混合和八年前的版本有所差异，这一款的茄衣是厄瓜多尔哈瓦那烟叶，茄套是尼加拉瓜烟叶，茄芯是尼加拉瓜、多米尼加的混合烟叶。雪茄是在多米尼加共和国的加西亚雪茄厂生产的。

The gold bars are back. It’s been eight years since Altadis U.S.A. first put the Ingot into circulation. The brand was a spinoff of The Banker By H. Upmann, and came packaged in boxes that resembled ingots of gold bullion. Like the original release, the upcoming The Banker By H. Upmann Ingot is presented in the same flashy packaging. Initial shipments are expected to leave the warehouse on November 22. 

The limited-edition Ingot plays off The Banker’s financial theme (Herman Upmann, the brand’s namesake, was a banker before he created a cigar) and comes in one size called Arbitrage, a hefty Churchill measuring 7 inches by 56 ring gauge. The blend, however, differs from the previous version: Ecuador Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. They are made in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera de Garcia. 

Despite the golden theme, the cigars are a relatively affordable $15 each, or $180 for a box. Only 5,000 boxes of 12 are being released. For a rating of the new The Banker By H. Upmann Ingot, see a future issue of Cigar Insider.
