H. Upmann Magnum 46 — tasting notes and pricing context
H. Upmann is one of the oldest Cuban marcas still in continuous production — founded in 1844 by a German banker and trader who liked Cuban cigars enough to start importing them, then making them. The Magnum series was launched in 2001 to bring H. Upmann's gentler, more elegant blend into the larger ring-gauge formats that had started to dominate the market. The Magnum 46 is the entry vitola at 5.6 inches by 46 ring — a Corona Gorda format that smokes for roughly an hour and is widely recommended as a first Cuban for smokers transitioning from milder Nicaraguan or Dominican brands.
The profile is the mildest of the Cuban premium catalogue. First third opens with butter, hay and a faint nuttiness; the middle drifts into cedar, honey and a touch of toasted almond; the last third delivers a smooth, slightly sweet finish that holds without burning hot. Smoking time runs 60 to 75 minutes. Across Europe a box of 25 sits in the €420 to €510 range: Noblego runs roughly €435, Cigarworld around €450, Cigarmust CHF 495 (~€520 after FX), Italian tabaccherie post €465. The €85 absolute spread is one of the wider gaps in the H. Upmann catalogue, and the Magnum 46 is consistently in stock — making it the easiest H. Upmann SKU to price-comparison shop.
