Upmann Wrapper

H. Upmann


History

Quoted from Wikipedia.

open quote imageThis marquee traces its history back to 1844 and several rival versions of the story of its origin exist. It is known for sure that two brothers, August and Hermann Upmann founded the brand in that year. An alternate claim is that their surname was, in fact, Hupmann, but the "H" was dropped from the name of the brand because "H. Upmann" was more aesthetically appealing than "H. Hupmann". Both claims are likely because both Hupmann and Upmann are German surnames. Alternately, there is a claim that the "H" in H. Upmann stands for either "Hermann" or the Spanish word Hermanos, meaning "brothers," since it was Hermann and August who founded the brand.close quote image


Editor's Thoughts

A quality cigar typically available at a very reasonable price. The Cuban version is usually very consistently rolled with a nice milky chocolate wrapper that resists cracking through out the duration of the smoke.
