Description
The H. Upmann Magnum 52 was launched in 2022 as a special edition to celebrate the Chinese New Year, specifically the Year of the Tiger. This release introduced a new vitola, Magnum 52, which combines a generous ring gauge with a medium length, offering a balanced smoking experience that highlights the brand’s hallmark smoothness and refinement. Hand‑rolled with tobaccos from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region, the Magnum 52 is presented in lacquered boxes of 18, decorated with commemorative motifs. It quickly became a collector’s item, blending tradition with celebratory exclusivity.
Taste Note
The Magnum 52 opens with creamy cedar and light spice, immediately showcasing the approachable character of H. Upmann. As the cigar develops, flavors of roasted nuts and cocoa emerge, layered with subtle sweetness that adds depth and balance. Midway through, the smoke becomes smoother and more complex, with hints of dried fruit and honey enriching the profile. In the final third, the flavors intensify slightly, with richer wood tones and a touch of pepper leaving a satisfying finish. The progression is elegant and harmonious, making the Magnum 52 a refined choice for aficionados who appreciate medium‑bodied Cuban cigars with celebratory flair.
