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.

HALF CORONA

Introduced in 2011 the Half Corona is the first 3 1/2 inch Havana to be introduced since the Second World War. Previously called the Half-a-Corona, it was in its day the best selling Havana size.

Tasting Notes

This cigar is creamy with hints of coffee. Small attractive Havana, good draw with complex flavours for such a small cigar. An excellent short smoking break cigar.

90 / 100

"A short corona that burns slowly and draws well, loading the palate with lots of cedary, fruity notes as well as a hint of cinnamon and a peppery finish..."

Mild/Medium, decent burn. Bit of sweetness half-way, slight hint of nuts. Pleasant afternoon smoke, around 35 mins with a cigar spear.

Just sat down with this for a late afternoon smoke with a Espresso, what a Disaster from start to finish very tight draw starting to unravel almost Immediately gave up in the end hope it’s a one off as already ordered more before lighting up. Wanted something little for theses winter days

An absolute little stunner of a stick. Mild to medium as it progresses but with plenty of flavour, a lovely half hour smoke.

This has to be my favourite cigar for an everyday smoke. A short smoke 30-49 mins & can be enjoyed in the morning with a good coffee/ cappacino. I always have a tin or at least a few in my humidor for a daily smoke, one of the best smokes for anyone new to cigar smoking like myself.

What a great little cigar. Worth every penny imo. Perfect for a lunchtime/ mid afternoon smoke. Creamy and smooth with coffee notes. Quite a tight draw which is why it’s only a 4* instead of a 5*
