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.

CORONA J

Formerly known as the H. Upmann Petit Upmann, this small cigar has the distinction of being the one that President Kennedy bought heavily just before he signed the US/Cuban trade embargo. A great cigar for beginners with a presidential pedigree to boot.

Tasting Notes

This cigar is creamy with hints of coffee and some nutty flavours as well. This small havana promises to have a good future. Attractive, good draw,thick smoke with complex flavors for such a small cigar. Simply excellent.

Unfortunately, you cannot edit reviews after they have been submitted, so this is my second review of the H.Upmann Coronas Junior – maybe this is a feature that needs to be added to the website? Within an hour of my posting my negative thoughts about these cigars, Michelle from C.Gars Ltd had emailed me looking to resolve the problem. It was explained to me that the green spots are caused by, ‘excess moisture at some point in the tobacco curing process’ and were not mould, which I was thankful to hear. Although the green spots did not affect the smoking experience, they are still not aesthetic pleasing. However, these are hand made products and a flawless wrapper cannot always be expected. Michelle was very accommodating and showed excellent customer service by sending me two more cigars. The wrapper on these was perfect and the smoking experience enjoyable. The uneven burn was limited to the first cigar from my first review, and the other cigars did not suffer from this. The draw was fine and the smoke nicely thick. This is about a half hour smoking experience. A very mild smoke, with lots of nuttiness and coffee and with almost no spice, which was pleasant. These cigars have definitely redeemed themselves and the customer service of Michelle was first-rate.

Construction of the cigars is very poor - one has a grey/green spot on the wrapper which indicates mould. I cant put this cigar in my humidor as the mould will spread to my other cigars, so has to be thrown away - very disappointed, especially when you are paying approximately seven pounds per cigar. The cigars are different colours and another one has slight damage to the wrapper. The burn on the one cigar I smoked was uneven due to soft spots. Poor impressions overall but maybe I received a bad batch?

These are very nice cigars but i have to give it one star. unfortunately one of the sticks i was not able to draw from. it was soo tight that i couldn't smoke it. I tried cutting the top to see if it helps but no luck. i had to throw away. fro £8 cigar you would expect more consistency especially from U.Uppmann.

Like the original reviewer, this cigar was my 'Eureka!' moment, too. I'm a complete novice so I'm not going to try and pretend I noticed all the subtler notes in this cigar, but around the halfway mark it hit a smooth, slightly sweet note that was absolutely beautiful. I will definitely investigate these lovely smokes further. This cigar gave me 40 minutes of deeply relaxed, contemplative bliss. 5 stars from this newbie right now. Just about to buy some more.
