Founded in 1844, H. Upmann presents the first Reserva in its long history with the Upmann No. 2 vitola, a Pira?mide that is one of the symbols of the brand.

Herman Upmann was a German banker whose love of Habanos led to him settling in Havana in 1840. He founded a bank and a Habanos factory in 1844. The bank closed but the Habanos brand continues today and is considered a model amongst the most refined Habanos, with a medium strength flavour.

The gold medals that adorn the box were won by the brand in no less than eleven international fairs during the 19th century and are still a characteristic feature of the brand in the 21st century.

With vitolas characterised by a light to medium flavour, the Habanos in the Magnum Line are very well-known. The traditional was eventually joined by the , which was launched in 2008.
