Dating all the way back to 1844, H. Upmann is one of those award-winning brands that stands tall above (almost all) of the rest. Once personally requested by JFK, this elite stable offers a stunning range of mild and medium handmade and machine-made Cuban Cigars. The success of this brand was buoyed by the award of seven gold medals in seven international exhibitions between 1862 and 1893; these awards still adorn the lithographed interior of the box today. Available in a stunning range of handmade and machine-made sizes, the brand offers a mild to medium strength.
