Product Presentation: Box of 25
First Third
The cold draw brings a distinct aroma of sweet hay and a touch of barnyard funk that true Havana fans chase. Once you toast the foot and get it going, the first few puffs are surprisingly gentle. You get an immediate wash of sweet cream and roasted cashews that coats the tongue. There is zero harshness here, just a smooth, sugary character that reminds you of raw cane syrup. The draw on this 46 ring gauge offers just enough resistance to keep the ember cool, allowing those delicate flavours to shine.
Mid-Section
As the burn line moves past the first third, the Magnum 46 deepens. Gingerbread and nutmeg emerge—warm, spiced, and inviting. Toffee sweetness develops on the palate alongside aged oak. Citrus zest provides a bright counterpoint. The body remains in mild-to-medium territory but gains weight and texture. This is the H. Upmann character at its most charming.
Final Third
The final third sees a gentle increase in earth and spice, but the sweetness never fully retreats. Burnt sugar and toasted nuts dominate the finish, while the cedar that has been a quiet presence throughout becomes more prominent. The Magnum 46 finishes with elegance and warmth—a satisfying conclusion that makes you reach for another.
Hermann Dietrich Upmann was a German banker who loved Cuban tobacco so much he moved to Havana in 1844 to open his own bank and cigar factory. He is widely credited with inventing the cedar cigar box, shipping cigars packed in cedar to Europe. The Magnum 46 is one of the most elegant shapes in the Cuban repertoire—a Corona format that offers a focused intensity larger formats cannot replicate.

H Upmann Magnum 46
$425.00
The H. Upmann Magnum 46 is a Corona format Cuban cigar measuring 143 mm (5.63") with a 46 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 25. The classic Corona proportions remain one of the most elegant shapes in the Cuban repertoire, offering a focused intensity that larger formats cannot replicate.
An excellent choice for newcomers to Cuban cigars or experienced smokers seeking a refined, gentler smoke, this medium-to-full cigar delivers a balanced profile that complements conversation rather than commanding it.
The wrapper is smooth and evenly applied with a fine oily sheen and warm Colorado tone. The cap is neatly formed, and the foot is packed with aromatic filler that yields moderate resistance on the cold draw. Once lit, the burn line is even and consistent, and the ash holds in firm, pale segments — a sign of the torcedores' care. Smoke volume is focused and aromatic, well-suited to the 46 gauge. The overall character is elegant and approachable — light wood, cream, and subtle spice form the foundation, with coffee, earthy notes, and a gentle nuttiness adding warmth and depth. A quiet floral lift surfaces mid-session, lending a refined quality to the balanced, measured body. The 46 ring gauge keeps the focus on the wrapper's contribution, making this an ideal morning smoke or contemplative midday companion that exemplifies the H. Upmann house style.

Brought a box to a friend's barbecue last summer and even the guys who normally smoke non-Cubans were impressed. The Magnum 46 is approachable without being boring. Creamy smoke, mild pepper, and that signature H. Upmann nuttiness. One friend said it reminded him of a Partagas Serie D No.4 but smoother, and I think that's a fair comparison. Great introduction to Cuban cigars if you're moving up from milder brands.
The H. Upmann Magnum 46 was the first serious Cuban cigar I ever smoked, and it ruined me for everything else. That was four years ago, and I still keep a box in my humidor at all times. The flavour profile is textbook H. Upmann — creamy, nutty, with beautiful cedar notes and a subtle sweetness that carries through to the end. Medium body, impeccable construction, and a smoke time of around 45 minutes that feels like it goes by in five. If you want to buy H. Upmann Magnum 46, do yourself a favour and get a full box. You'll go through them fast.
