H. Upmann Magnum 52

The H. Upmann Magnum 52 sits at the midpoint of the Magnum family — a Segundos vitola measuring 149mm with a 52 ring gauge that offers a medium-bodied smoke of excellent balance across approximately 70 minutes. More compact than the Magnum 50 but with a wider ring than the 46, the Magnum 52 delivers notes of toasted bread, hazelnut and gentle spice with the consistent construction and refined character that defines the H. Upmann range.

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.
