H. UpmannCigars
H.Upmann mild to medium bodied cigars have a very smooth and subtle flavor that has been its hallmark since their introduction in 1844.
A great favorite among aficionados, the history of the H. Upmann brand began around 1840, when Herman Upmann, banker and almost fanatical cigar enthusiast, offered to open a branch of his family-owned bank in Havana Cuba. In 1844, he (not surprisingly) invested in a cigar factory, and from then until 1922, the company traded as both a bank and a cigar business. In that year, both companies failed, and a British firm, J. Frankau & Co., saved the brand and ran the cigar factory until 1935. It was then sold to the newly-founded Menendez y Garcia Company. And so it was that a legend was re-born.
Characteristically, H. Upmanns offer a smooth, subtle, mild to medium smoke. These cigars are great for beginners, but appeal to the day-time tastes of seasoned connoisseurs. Their larger sizes are among the most rare and sought-after cigars in the world.
The cigars are always very well constructed, the blends offer a medium-bodied taste yet smooth and an attractive aroma.
