History of H.UPMANN

These mild to medium bodied cigars have a very smooth and subtle flavor that has been its hallmark since its introduction in 1844. A great favorite among aficionados, the history of this brand began around 1840, when Herman Upmann, banker and almost fanatical cigar enthusiast, offered to open a branch of his family-owned bank in Havana Cuba. In 1844, he (not surprisingly) invested in a cigar factory, and from then until 1922, the company traded as both a bank and a cigar business. In that year, both companies failed, and a British firm, J. Frankau & Co., saved the brand and ran the cigar factory until 1935. It was then sold to the newly-founded Menendez y Garcia Company. And so it was that a legend was re-born. Characteristically, Upmanns offer a smooth, subtle, mild to medium smoke. These cigars are great for beginners, but appeal to the day-time tastes of seasoned connoisseurs. Their larger sizes are among the most rare and sought-after cigars in the world.

The H.Upmann Noellas, a limited release you can find in a fancy jar of 25, is a light to medium cigar that's just the right pick for a relaxed afternoon. At 5.31 inches with a 42 ring gauge, it's a comfortable smoke, not too big or small. The construction is solid, reflecting its prestigious Vuelta Abajo heritage. Lighting it up, I was hit with a nice hint of cinnamon, not overpowering, but a neat little twist. The creamy cedar flavor melds well with it, creating a smooth experience. As the smoke progressed, I picked up some leather, a bit of spice, and those welcome background notes of cocoa and coffee.


For those who appreciate a cigar that's flavorful yet not too intense, the Noellas is a great choice.
