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.

It all started back in 1844 on a cold night in Cuba. Well maybe it wasn't a cold night but that is just part of the whole history. No one really knows how it actually started, the H. Upmann brand that is. Their are a lot of stories that are behind the origination of this cigar but the most excepted one is about two German brothers moving to Havana. They happen to be cigar smokers themselves and fell in love with Cuban cigars.

The H. Upmann produces a variety of cigars from short to long to the really tiny ones. However, it is the big hand rolled Cuban cigars that people love and crave. The H.Upmman No 2s is probably the most wide selling Cuban cigar box of all time. I have a customer who gets these every three days and just loves them. It is the feel of a big strong cigar with a think ring guage but with surprisingly mild to medium flavors that people appreciate.

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.
