H. Upmann Robustos Edicion Limitada 2012

The H. Upmann Robustos Edición Limitada 2012 is a special release that stands out for both its format and its blend. All tobaccos used in this cigar - wrapper, binder, and filler - are sourced from Cuba’s famed Vuelta Abajo region and aged for at least two years, as is the hallmark of all Edición Limitada releases. An elegant and subtle Robusto with all of the characteristic light to medium flavours associated with the Upmann brand. Presented in labelled boxes of 25 cigars, something of a rarity since 2009.

Founded in 1844, the H. Upmann brand was established in Havana by German banker Hermann Dietrich Upmann, who arrived in Cuba in 1843 to expand his family’s banking business. Captivated by the local tobacco industry, he purchased a cigar factory and began producing cigars under his own name. H. Upmann is credited with introducing cedar boxes for cigar storage and gifting, a practice that became an industry standard. These boxes, often adorned with the H. Upmann name, were initially used to promote the bank and later became a hallmark of the brand. Alongside cigar production, the Upmann family operated a bank that catered to tobacco dealers and manufacturers, creating a vertically integrated business that managed everything from seedbeds to shipping. 

H. UPMANN ROBUSTOS EDICION LIMITADA 2012 TASTING NOTES

The H. Upmann Robustos Edición Limitada 2012 provides a complex, evolving smoking experience.

- Pre-Light: Dark, oily wrapper with aromas of cocoa, earth, and barnyard sweetness. 

- First Third: Bold peppery and woody notes dominate, with a rich, creamy smoke. Hints of roasted nuts, mint, and leather are present, supported by light cocoa and subtle sweetness. 

- Mid-Smoke: The flavour profile smooths out, revealing more balance. Cedar, earth, and a touch of herbal freshness emerge, with the pepper receding and creamy, nutty undertones coming forward. 

- Final Third: Flavors intensify with strong leather, dark chocolate, and a return of peppery spice. The finish is long and satisfying, with a harmonious blend of wood, earth, and cocoa. 

- Aroma: Inviting and rich, with notes of wood, chocolate, and a creamy, nutty undertone.
