Product Description

The brand is named after its founder Herman Upmann who was a German banker who moved to Havana in 1844 and subsequently opened a bank and started making cigars. The bank closed in 1920 but his cigars are still going strong. It is a brand which has been represented by Hunters & Frankau in the UK since 1850 and indeed they owned both the factory and distribution rights between 1925 and 1937. The wrappers of these cigars tend to be darker in colour than those used in most Cuban brands and in such a light blend this helps to develop the full flavour of the cigar at a much earlier point. H Upmann cigars are characterised by their floral aroma, complex and balanced flavours which enhance rather than compete with the natural tobacco leaf used. The box of 10 H Upmann Magnum 54 are 4 3/4″ by 54 ring gauge premium, hand rolled Cuban cigars.

The H Upmann Magnum 54 is a recent addition to the series with a heavy 54 ring gauge which intensifies the flavours and aromas of the wonderful blend whilst adding a little strength. The rich earth and tobacco flavours of this mild cigar are balanced with harmonious notes of sweet cedar, creamy smooth cappuccino, nuts, dried fruit, almond and black pepper. Delicate, aromatic, elegant, flavourful and light the H Upmann series of cigars are the perfect choice for those who prefer sophistication over intensity.

H Upmann Cigars – The Brand

Herman Upmann was a banker from Germany who so loved Cuban cigars that he moved to Havana in 1844 and set up as both banker and cigar maker. His bank closed in the early 1920s but his cigars live on as a fine example of an elegant, light to medium flavoured Havana.

The brand is particularly welcome here as Hunters & Frankau has represented H.Upmann in Britain since the 1850s and between 1925 and 1937 we owned the factory in Havana as well as the worldwide brand rights.

Upmann’s blend is composed exclusively of filler and binder tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo zone.

Amongst the best known H. Upmann sizes are the Magnum 46 and Magnum 50, which was introduced in 2008. As the name suggests Magnums have heavy girths – the number represents the ring gauge of each size. Other important sizes include the Sir Winston, the Connoisseur No.1 and in smaller vitolas the Corona J and Half Corona, which was introduced in 2011.

All H. Upmann sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.
