Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 25 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece

H. Upmann's most-recommended modern vitola. Mild-medium body with a creamy, cedar-led profile that suits an aficionado's first Cuban.

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.

    Prices and stock move. Save a price alert and we email you when any retailer drops below your target or the box comes back in stock.

  • Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

    Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.

    The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.

  • How does H. Upmann Magnum 46 compare to other H. Upmann cigars?

    H. Upmann Magnum 46 is a Corona Gorda, ring 46, 143 mm, medium strength, sold in a box of 25. The other H. Upmann vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are H. Upmann Magnum 50, H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.

  • Is the price for H. Upmann Magnum 46 likely to drop?

    Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.

    Short-term, prices move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
