The H. Upmann Coronas Major Tubos is a timeless Cuban cigar that exemplifies the elegant, soft-spoken style for which the H. Upmann brand is renowned. Known for its smooth character, classic vitola, and portable aluminum tubos presentation, this cigar has remained a favorite among casual smokers and seasoned connoisseurs alike.
Perfectly balanced and impeccably constructed, the Coronas Major offers a gentle, nuanced smoking experience ideal for any time of day.
Vitola and Presentation
This cigar is crafted in the Corona vitola, officially classified as Corona (Factory Name: Eminentes). It measures 132 mm (5.2 inches) in length with a ring gauge of 42, making it a classic and well-proportioned smoke that delivers tradition and charm in equal measure.
Each cigar is individually housed in a protective aluminum tube—perfect for maintaining freshness and ideal for travel. The cigars are presented in a box of 25 tubos, each with the signature H. Upmann branding, reflecting its heritage and elegance.
Construction and Origin
Like all Habanos, the Coronas Major is handmade in Cuba using 100% long-filler tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Río—home to the most prized cigar tobacco in the world.
The construction is consistent, with a well-applied triple cap, a slightly oily wrapper in a golden-brown Colorado shade, and a firm yet pliable body. The tubo casing offers additional protection and aging potential, especially for those storing cigars without a humidor.
Flavor Profile and Smoking Experience
The H. Upmann Coronas Major is a light to medium-bodied cigar that emphasizes elegance over intensity. The opening delivers mild cedar, toasted bread, and creamy coffee notes. As the cigar progresses, it develops light touches of almond, herbal grassiness, and a hint of honeyed sweetness—hallmarks of the H. Upmann style.
In the second half, floral and tea-like notes emerge, layered over a soft backdrop of earth and light spice. The strength remains mild, but the complexity is gently engaging, especially when paired with a light coffee or white wine.
Expect a smoking time of around 40 to 50 minutes, making it ideal for a refined midday break or early evening wind-down.
