H. Upmann Petit Coronas

The H. Upmann Petit Coronas is one of the most consistent and widely enjoyed formats in the entire Habanos portfolio — a Petit Corona vitola measuring 129mm with a 42 ring gauge that delivers the classic H. Upmann character in a 45-minute smoke. Mild to medium-bodied with notes of cream, nuts and cedar, it is an ideal choice for a morning smoke, a post-lunch cigar, or any occasion where time is limited but quality is not negotiable.

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.
