H. Upmann Brand

H. Upmann is a legendary, historic cigar brand, established in Havana, Cuba, in 1844 by German banker Hermann Upmann. It is one of the world's oldest and most respected brands, known for its elegant, light to medium-bodied profile and characteristic aroma. The brand's legacy includes an interesting history that intertwines banking, cigars, and even espionage, and it is famously known as U.S. President John F. Kennedy's favorite cigar brand, leading to a last-minute order of 1,200 Petit Upmanns the night before he signed the Cuban trade embargo in 1962.
