A Cuban cigar brand name that is shared by two organizations, the H. Upmann brand is one of the most sought after popular Cuban cigars around. One organization is located in Cuba and the other in the Dominican. However, don’t be confused because the only thing they have in common is the name. The H. Upmann from Cuba is one of the best cigars you can smoke.

Starter by two brothers who moved from Europe to Havana, the H.Upmann brand is shrouded by various stories on how it began. Almost like the Cohiba brand, their is definitely some mystery behind this one. After all, it is one of the top selling Cuban cigar brands of all time. Trailing only the Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo Y Julieta and Partagas. It doesn’t matter to me how it began, I’m just glad that it did.

Regardless of where this particular cigar company had it’s roots, it is one of the more popular brands of cigar that is available throughout the world and is enjoyed by many cigar smokers because of its unique taste that is generally described as as being mild to medium. Many of the H. Upmann cigars are now machine rolled although it is still possible to find some varieties that are hand rolled in the traditional way.

Regrettably, most people in the United States or the ‘unfortunate’ cigar aficionados as I refer to our friends down south, were never able to experience the true completeness of a real H. Upmann from Cuba. Dominican republic version of the H. Upmann brand can be easily obtained but it comes no where close to the precise might of a H. Upmann Cigar. It is all because of the trade embargo that was set that has kept our American friends from trying not just the H. Upmann but various models of Cuban cigars. A embargo set by a fellow Cuban cigar lover, John F Kennedy.

A Cuban cigar that has brings another unique flavor and touch to the Cuban cigar genre, the H. Upmann is a cigar that belongs in the hands of the wealthy, the self-made and the powerful. If you are a powerhouse that has an effect on everyone around you, an H. Upmann belongs to you. One of the best tasting Cuban cigars around for sure.
