Out of stockThe H. Upmann Coronas Minor is a compact and approachable Cuban cigar that delivers the classic H. Upmann character in a 35-minute smoke — a Minuto vitola measuring 110mm with a 42 ring gauge. Mild to medium-bodied with notes of cream, toasted bread and mild cedar, it is ideal when time is limited or when you want the pleasure of a Cuban cigar without the commitment of a longer smoke.
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.
A shorter version of the classic Corona format, delivering consistent H. Upmann character in a compact, time-friendly smoke.
