H. Upmann Magnum 50

The H. Upmann Magnum 50 is a fuller, more robust expression of the Magnum family — a Dalia vitola measuring 175mm with a 50 ring gauge that delivers a medium-bodied smoke of real depth across approximately 85 minutes. Awarded 94 points by Cigar Aficionado, it builds on the elegance of the Magnum 46 with a wider ring gauge that opens up the draw and introduces darker, richer notes of chocolate, leather and roasted coffee alongside the brand's signature cedar and cream.

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.
