A Cuban cigar brand name that is shared by two organizations, the H. Upmann brand is one of the most sought after popular Cuban cigars around. One organization is located in Cuba and the other in the Dominican. However, don't be confused because the only thing they have in common is the name. The H. Upmann from Cuba is one of the best cigars you can smoke.
Starter by two brothers who moved from Europe to Havana, the H.Upmann brand is shrouded by various stories on how it began. Almost like the Cohiba brand, their is definitely some mystery behind this one. After all, it is one of the top selling Cuban cigar brands of all time. Trailing only the Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo Y Julieta and Partagas. It doesn't matter to me how it began, I'm just glad that it did.
Regardless of where this particular cigar company had it's roots, it is one of the more popular brands of cigar that is available throughout the world and is enjoyed by many cigar smokers because of its unique taste that is generally described as as being mild to medium. Many of the H. Upmann cigars are now machine rolled although it is still possible to find some varieties that are hand rolled in the traditional way.
After Mr. Kennedy set an embargo of US and Cuban trade, the whole Cuban cigar trading died with it and a lot of hearts were broken. Especially when you consider that the US is the biggest market for Cuban cigars, even after the ban! I can't believe or imagine the mindset John was in when he decided to put a trade embargo ban on Cuba considering he was one of the biggest fans of the H. Upmann brand. Even after the ban, he sent out his general to get him thousands of boxes so he can have his very own stash if you may of fine Cuban cigars.
Regardless the uncertain history, no real Cuban cigar lovers can deny the taste and beautiful construction of the H. Upmann's. A crowd of well established and successful individuals is what this brand represents. From the big names in Hollywood to the movers and shakers in the political spectrum, the H. Upmann represents power, strength and class.
