Product Description

An inexpensive cigar for its size, the Majestic projects an image well above its price bracket. The taste is somewhat more intense than many Upmann's but if you know what you are buying you will be rewarded. All of our loose cigars come in sealed bags with Boveda to keep them fresh.

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.

  1. Sensational for the price 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 5th Feb 2021

    A beautiful flavour, which develops nicely as it goes along. The initial (unlit) scent is pretty farmy both on the wrapper, and filler. The burn is at first quite woody and a little green, but about half way down it becomes heavier and more serious, but never overwhelming so, and stays polite right to the last inch. For such a slim cigar it's a good long smoke (an hour-plus for me). The burn is even all the way down. The only criticism I can make - if I must - is that the draw was a little tight to begin with, though it soon eased. A pleasure from beginning to end. When one of my clients bothers to pay me, I'll buy a box!
