H. Upmann Coronas Major

The H. Upmann Coronas Major is a classic Cuban Corona and one of the most dependable everyday cigars in the Habanos portfolio — a Corona vitola measuring 132mm with a 42 ring gauge that delivers a mild to medium-bodied smoke of reliable elegance across approximately 50 minutes. Notes of toasted bread, mild spice and clean cedar make it an ideal companion for a post-lunch smoke or an unhurried afternoon.

About H. Upmann Cigars

Founded in Havana in 1844 by German banker Hermann Dietrich Upmann, H. Upmann is one of Cuba's oldest and most distinguished cigar houses. Upmann arrived in Cuba to expand his family's banking interests but became captivated by the tobacco industry, purchasing a factory and producing cigars under his own name. The brand is credited with introducing the cedar cigar box — a practice that became the global standard — and with creating some of the most refined blends in the Habanos portfolio. Today H. Upmann is revered for elegance and consistency across formats from the compact Half Corona to the stately Sir Winston.
