Vitals
Old World
Crafted in Cuba — the birthplace of the handmade premium cigar. Centuries of terroir, Habanos tradition, and a strictly regulated industry define every leaf.
Leaf Composition
Triple-fermented Vuelta Abajo tobacco. Handrolled at H. Upmann Factory, Havana.
Growing Region — Vuelta Abajo
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.

Founded 1844 by German banker Hermann Upmann, who opened both a bank and a cigar factory in Havana. The No.2 torpedo has appeared on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 list more times than any other Cuban cigar. The brand was among Churchill's personal favourites alongside Romeo y Julieta.
