H Upmann

The H Upmann cigar brand is truly one of the most recognized cigar brand in the world. The H. Upmann brand is going back to the middle of the 18th century, when Herman Upmann, a German financier, started using especially embossed boxes of fine cigars as promotional things designed for his bank.

This arrangement proved booming, so the H. Upmann cigar brand came to life then and still operates to this moment. The accomplishment of this cigar brand was maintained by the reward of seven gold medals in seven international exhibitions between 1862 and 1893; these prizes are still adorning the lithographed inner of the cigar box today.

The H. Upmann trademark was sold to the British company of J. Frankau right after the Second World War and lastly in 1935 to Menendez, Garcia & Cia. preceding to nationalization, continues today in the H. Upmann cigar plant, nowadays known as Jose Marti.

The legendary demand of American President John F. Kennedy to his press secretary, Pierre Salinger, to get a hold of as many cigars on the evening prior to the declaration of the American trade embargo in 1961, was for Petit Upmanns.

Presented in an astonishing variety of handmade and machine-made sizes, the H Upmann brand presents a mild to medium strength.
