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 and all H. Upmann sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

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..."

Bit more of a nicotine hit than I was expecting Some quite diverse reviews of these on here. Ive had a couple from my first tin of these now and I must say, compared to the lovely Connoisseur No. 1s Ive had and enjoyed, these are quite a bit stronger. (I generally go for a mild smoke so, given these are rated mild to medium, I ought not to have been surprised.) I thought these would make a good accompaniment at this time of year (December) to my morning moccaccino. They do, but leave me a little too woozy for my liking. Just my preference, of course. Shall certainly persist through the rest of the tin, but, for me, not for a working day morning.

Mild, smooth & subtle, a truly outstanding 25 minute smoke. Accompanied by freshly ground Arabica beans coffee. As a seasoned cigar smoker, I was impressed by the flavours of light meadow hay, and hints of salty pepper of this small Corona One of my best buys.

First up, I cannot commend the staff at Cgars highly enough, orders have always been delivered promptly and arrive in perfect condition. This box was delivered by hand! What a wonderful smoke the Upmann Half Corona is! Mild but complex enough to keep you entertained, beautiful construction, quality is always spot on. They can be smoked all the way down to the shortest stub without becoming bitter. Consistent flavour all the way through the stick. Perfect for a summer afternoon before dinner.

Perfect build and smart size for the glass of brandy. The taste however is not for everyone. Certainly not for the beginners. Give it four.
