H. UPMANN

H. Upmann is one of the oldest cigar brands in existence, dating back to the 1840s. It was started when Herman Upmann quit his job as a banker in the early 1840’s and went about opening up a branch office in Havana. Upmann quickly realised that he could begin a commercial endeavour in the industry and in 1844 he made the bold investment of a cigar factory and the H. Upmann brand was officially launched. 

Later on in 1922, both the Upmann bank and the cigar business went bankrupt and they had to sell up to J. Frankau & Co., a British firm who continued the production of the cigars up until 1935 at which point the brand was sold on again to the recently established Menendez y Garcia Co., the makers of the famous Montecristo cigar. The new owners continued the production of H. Upmann cigars up until the nationalisation of the tobacco industry after the Cuban revolution.

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

Gold medals in no less than eleven international exhibitions during the 19th Century can be found on the brand's labelled boxes.

CONNOISSEUR CORONAS MAJOR TUBED

H. Upmann was the first brand in the world to introduce the cedar lined aluminium tubes for cigars. The coronas major was not the first size to be tubed, but it has been on the UK market since 1937 and is loved by many smokers.

Tasting Notes

A small cigar, but with impressive, spicy flavours. An ideal candidate for a smoke-on-the-go thanks to the tube.

----

92 / 100

"Slim with an open, even draw, this corona leaves rich impressions of chestnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg on the palate. Hints of leather and earth also come in for a well-balanced smoke..."

Actually, ahemmmmmmm - the original cigar I reviewed turned out to be a FAKE !!!! - bought NOT from Cgars, I do hasten to add. Thinking back, I seem to have got some kind of box pressed affair - kept the label, got it out and - guess what, folks ? Different labels...... caveat vendor. ;-)) The tubes are different in colour, too. Well, well.... The current Upmann I`m smoking at the moment is proving to be a nice, spicy stogie with a few Monte like hints in it - are they made at the same factory ?? - pleasant smoke, medium flavour, tight - ish draw, which may be why they go out on first time smokers. A nice flavourful cigar - well constructed - yep, I`d have another. Stuck between a three and a four on this one (as you can see, I went for a three - by no means a magnificent smoke, but - not bad, and a good into to Cubans for beginners. Though perhaps with a little TOO much bite for the first time cigar smoker. Being a humble tubo, you can`t imagine TOO much from this ally clad corona - but it`s a good intro cigar for those who`ve moved on from Dominican and Hondurans and want something with a little more "oomph". There are more chacterful cigars - Romeo No 2 Tubo - Bolivar No 2 Tubo if you decide to shock yourself - but - well, I wouldn`t refuse one if handed to me but wouldn`t buy one in preference to a properly humidified non - ally clad stick. In the long run, you can`t complain. "It does exactly what it says on the tin". ;-)) written by Dave Francis

First time smoker of this brand, didnt particularly enjoy it that much. Tasted a little bit woody, and found it hard to keep lit. Had to relight 3 times. Overall not a bad smoke but one I wouldnt go back to that quickly. written by Paul
