H Upmann - Magnum 56 - Single Cigar
)
Product Description
** Single Cigar from the Travel Retail Jar**
Originally intended for sale exclusively in Travel Retail shops around the world, Habanos SA have sanctioned the release of a limited number of these beautiful ceramic jars for sale in domestic markets. This is in part due to the on-going travelling restrictions due to the pandemic.
Each jar contains 20 x H. Upmann Magnum 56, a cigar first seen in 2015 as a Limited Edition. They proved very popular for collectors and connoisseurs and quickly sold out. The re-appearance of these cigars presented in a stunning ceramic jar with a humidification source in the lid is sure to rekindle significant fond interest.
The cigar measures 5 7/8” (150mm) x 56 ring gauge and has been blended in the classic light-to- medium bodied style of H. Upmann.
Ceramic jars have been used to house Havanas since the late 18th Century and today many experts agree that they remain one of the best options for long term ageing.
H Upmann is the one of the oldest cigar brands still in production today and of the most popular among new smokers or those looking for lighter mid-day smoke. The brand began back in the 1840’s when German bank owner Herman Upmann opened an office in Havana for exporting cigars back to Europe. By 1844 he invested heavily and opened his own factory in the city and both the bank and cigar brand remained highly successful until 1922 the family business went bust. Luckily UK importers J Frankau & Co brought out the company and continued its production and gave the brand more exposure to smokers all over the (diminishing) Empire. Later the brand was sold the Menéndez, García y Cía Co the brains behind the iconic Montecristo brand, who continued production until the revolution when all brand became nationalised.
Over the years H Upmann has been a firm favourite and was the brand of choice for American President J F Kennedy. His love for the brand caused him to send an aide out to buy as many Petit Upmann (Demi Tasse) he could find in Washington before signing the Embargo with the Caribbean island.
H Upmann cigars all have a light and easy going flavour profile of woods, coffee, beans a slight hint of spice. All the flavours you would expect from a Havana cigar, but light enough to be enjoyed by anyone at any time of the day.
