#5 Best Cigar of 2018 - Cigar Aficionado

Herman Upmann was a banker from Germany who so loved Cuban cigars that he moved to Havana in 1844 and set up as both banker and cigar maker. His bank closed in the early 1920's but his cigars live on as a fine example of an elegant,light to medium flavoured Habano. 

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. 

Tasting Notes

Generous and strong, it has all the virtues of the Habano with pedigree. Excellent draw and burn. Very smooth and consistent.

94 / 100

"...One of the last Cuban Churchills in the Habanos S.A. portfolio is the H. Upmann Sir Winston. It doesn't seem right that such a classic format has been deleted from almost every Cuban brand, but the trend is leaning towards fatter, shorter cigars. We at Cigar Aficionado have lamented this tragedy before, but there's no sense in wasting too much time on what's been lost. Rather, let's focus on the Sir Winston. Its dimensions, 7 inches by 47 ring gauge, are nearly perfect. It's thick enough to deliver ample smoke, thin enough to fit comfortably in your mouth and long enough to give you at least an hour of pleasurable smoking. It's medium bodied, making it approachable for beginners but complex enough for more experienced smokers. The cigar is brimming with refined chocolate, marzipan, floral notes and a sweet, graham cracker finish, all brought together by that unique, inimitable Cuban taste. The size is known as a Julieta No. 2 in Cuban cigar factories, and was a favorite of Winston Churchill, perhaps the most famous cigar smoker in history. He consumed so many Julieta No. 2 cigars that the grand and elegant size was eventually named after him. It's only proper that the H. Upmann Sir Winston happens to be a Churchill..."

This is the best churchill sized cigar I have ever had. It is priced as a double corona, but it is well worth the money. The cigar begins medium strength, gradually intensifies, and adds more and more flavor along the way. written by CDR

A really pleasant Churchill, with medium flavor, but really smooty. I was happy to find that it did not have the flatness and bit of the Upmann corona. I would rank this a tad behind the Punch Churchill, but close. written by SLH

A very fine smoke -pleasant flavors, good draw. Perhaps not the richest of cigars, but first class nonetheless. written by rubyz

This is not the Churchill you would expect from R&J, but a nice effort nonetheless. Mild at first, then nicely developing to full medium. Definite notes of wood and leather tightly packed inside an excellent wrapper. Decent draw and good construction. written by Mihai

Not the richest tasting Churchill out there but a treat nonetheless. Some inconsistency in the draw. The good ones are awesome! written by JM USA
