H. Upmann Magnum 54 – Box of 25

The H. Upmann Magnum 54 is a modern classic from one of Cuba’s most iconic cigar brands. Released in 2016, it was introduced to expand the beloved Magnum Series, appealing to a new generation of cigar lovers who appreciate rich flavor and a slightly shorter smoking time without compromising complexity or sophistication.

As the name suggests, the cigar boasts a 54 ring gauge, making it the thickest vitola in the Magnum line. Despite its bold size, the Magnum 54 remains true to H. Upmann’s signature medium-bodied smoothness, making it ideal for both novice smokers and seasoned aficionados alike.

Construction and Origin

Handmade in Cuba using the Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga technique (totally handmade with long filler), the Magnum 54 is crafted with the finest aged tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region in Pinar del Río.

The cigar features a flawless Colorado wrapper—silky to the touch, with light oil sheen and minimal veins. Its draw is easy and consistent, and the burn is even, showcasing the quality craftsmanship Habanos is known for.

Flavor Profile and Smoking Experience

The H. Upmann Magnum 54 is celebrated for its creamy, aromatic, and well-rounded profile. It is medium in strength, offering a sophisticated and balanced smoke with excellent complexity despite its relatively short format.

First third: Opens with notes of cedar, sweet hay, and toasted almonds, accompanied by a soft creaminess and floral hints.
Second third: Evolves into richer tones of cocoa, baking spices (nutmeg, cinnamon), and a subtle honey sweetness.
Final third: Adds more depth with mild leather, roasted coffee beans, and a touch of white pepper, though never becoming harsh or overpowering.

Its flavor evolution is smooth and gradual, delivering 30 to 50 minutes of pleasurable, contemplative smoking.
