H Upmann Cigars

As famous as there is in the world of cigars. Herman Upmann, originally a banker, became so fond of cigars he moved to Cuba in 1844. There he set up as a cigar maker. The success of this brand was buoyed by the award of seven gold medals in international exhibitions between 1862 and 1893. This cigar company was later taken over by Frankau & Co in 1922, and again in the mid 1930s when purchased by the company of Menendez & Garcia. Each box still carries the signature of Herman Upman.

Available in a stunning range of hand madeand machine made sizes, the brand offers a mild to medium strength.
