The H. Upmann Cuban cigars
The H. Upmann cigars can actually be found in two separate companies that share the same name. The first of these is manufactured in Cuba and the other is made in the Dominican Republic. The only thing that these two cigar companies really share is a name and when most people think of the H. Upmann cigar brand, they consider the one that is rolled in Havana, Cuba.
The H. Upmann cigars brand can trace its history the whole way back to 1844 although there are a lot of conflicting reports about how it got its start. One of the more interesting reports is that there were two German brothers that were bankers who moved to Havana. These brothers also happened to be avid cigar smokers and they started H. Upmann cigars in order to use it as a promotional avenue for their banking business.
The mystery behind the origin might be a good marketing tactic to utilize it’s promotion, but it is the great taste and very unique I might add that has established into a Cuban cigar powerhouse. Overall taste or the range of cigars that are produced by this brand has soft to medium flavor. Since they produce so many different types of cigars, you can find hand rolled (Which real Cuban cigar smokers prefer) and machine rolled mini cigars too.
Because of the trade embargo that exists between Cuba and the United States, most people who live in the United States are never able to experience a true H. Upmann cigar. It is interesting to note, however, that there are some rumors that John Kennedy had his press secretary order him a large supply of H. Upmann cigars on the night before the trade embargo went into effect. This shows you the popularity of this particular cigar and if you ever have the opportunity to try one for yourself, you would no doubt agree that it is one of the better smokes that are available.
Regardless the uncertain history, no real Cuban cigar lovers can deny the taste and beautiful construction of the H. Upmann’s. A crowd of well established and successful individuals is what this brand represents. From the big names in Hollywood to the movers and shakers in the political spectrum, the H. Upmann represents power, strength and class.
