Out of stockThe H. Upmann Majestic is one of the most elegant and refined formats in the brand's regular production range — a slender Crema vitola measuring 140mm with a 40 ring gauge that delivers a mild to medium-bodied smoke of quiet sophistication across approximately 50 minutes. Cedar, cream and light spice in a smoke that rewards patience — the Majestic is a cigar for those who appreciate subtlety over power.
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 nuanced, contemplative smoke that showcases H. Upmann's lighter, more delicate character.
- Pre-light: Light cedar, hay and a faint floral note.
- First Third: Clean and fresh — cream, light toast and a gentle herbaceous quality. Very smooth from the first draw.
- Second Third: Cedar and light spice develop alongside a subtle nuttiness. The slender gauge keeps the profile focused and precise.
- Final Third: A clean, dry finish with mild cedar and the faintest hint of white pepper.
- Overall: Mild to medium-bodied, slender and refined — a cigar for those who appreciate precision over power.

The Crema vitola is one of the slenderest formats in the Habanos portfolio — at 40 ring gauge it produces a focused, precise draw with minimal filler volume per centimetre of smoke.
Slender cigars like the Majestic tend to burn slightly faster and at a slightly higher temperature than wider-gauge formats — making a measured, unhurried pace important for the best experience.
Is the Majestic suitable for beginners?
Yes — its mild to medium profile and moderate size make it approachable, though the slender gauge requires a relaxed pace to avoid overheating.
How long does it take to smoke?
Approximately 50 minutes.
What does EMS mean?
English Market Selection — confirming the cigars arrived via the official Habanos UK importer and passed additional authenticity and condition checks.
