🇨🇺 CubaOld WorldPirámideUSD 42

A Cigar Aficionado legend. The H. Upmann No.2 torpedo has appeared on the Top 25 Cigars of the Year list more times than any other Cuban cigar. The pirámide format — tapered at both ends — delivers a concentrated, evolving flavour across its length.

Tasting notes: Cedar, leather, earth, woody spice, dried fruit, subtle cocoa. Complex and long-lasting.

World's most storied tobacco; produces wrapper, binder, and filler of unmatched complexity

The most storied tobacco growing region in the world. Limestone-rich lowland soil in western Cuba. Produces the wrapper, binder, and filler used by virtually all Habanos S.A. brands. The unique soil chemistry — red clay over limestone — and the morning mists from the Viñales valley create conditions impossible to replicate elsewhere.
