Out of stockThe H. Upmann Robusto Añejados is in a different league from the standard H. Upmann range — a Robusto vitola measuring 124mm with a 50 ring gauge, produced using aged Vuelta Abajo tobaccos matured beyond the standard production cycle. Medium to full-bodied with extraordinary complexity — deep leather, dark fruit, espresso and a richness that evolves over 65 minutes — the Añejados designation signals that this is a cigar for the serious aficionado seeking depth and character rarely found in regular production lines.
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.
The aged tobaccos deliver a profile of exceptional complexity — darker, richer and more evolved than anything in the standard H. Upmann range.
- Pre-light: Deep cedar, dark fruit and an earthy leather note from the aged wrapper.
- First Third: Leather and dark wood lead, with espresso developing on the retrohale. Fuller-bodied from the first draw than any standard H. Upmann vitola.
- Second Third: Dark fruit, rich chocolate and leather interplay with a deep cedar backbone. The complexity of aged tobacco is unmistakable.
- Final Third: A long, rich finish — espresso, dark fruit and a lingering sweetness that persists well after the cigar is finished.
- Overall: Medium to full-bodied, deeply complex and exceptional — one of the finest aged Cuban cigars available in the UK.

Añejados means aged in Spanish — the tobaccos have been matured for longer than standard production cigars, producing a darker, more complex flavour profile.
Habanos launched the Añejados line across several brands simultaneously, selecting Robusto as the standard vitola for all of them — a format whose wider ring gauge and shorter length is considered ideal for showcasing aged tobacco character.
At £22 per stick the Robusto Añejados represents exceptional value for an aged Cuban cigar.
