The H. Upmann Magnum 50 is, without a doubt, the undisputed flagship of the modern H. Upmann portfolio. Originally introduced in 2005 as a highly successful Limited Edition, its overwhelming popularity forced Habanos S.A. to make it a permanent regular production release in 2008. This majestic Grand Robusto has cemented its place as the gold standard for discerning aficionados and luxury tobacco collectors who crave a long, cool, and highly voluminous smoke that favors complex, smooth aromas over aggressive strength.
💨 Flavor Profile and Tasting Notes
Entirely handmade with long filler (totalmente a mano con tripa larga), the leaves for this cigar are carefully selected from the absolute finest vegas of the world-renowned Vuelta Abajo region in Cuba. Thanks to its generous 50 ring gauge, lighting an H. Upmann Magnum 50 delivers a highly dynamic, beautifully balanced, and light-to-medium-bodied smoke:
First Third: A wonderfully smooth and creamy opening filled with fine cedar wood, fresh hay, a delicate sweetness, and a soft hint of vanilla. [19, 20]
Second Third: The flavor profile grows more complex, introducing velvety layers of roasted coffee beans, toasted almonds, light baking spices, and genuine leather.
Final Third: A memorable, highly sophisticated finish showcasing rich oak, earthy undertones, and a classic Cuban bready creaminess that maintains a perfect burn and draw from start to finish.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long should you age an H. Upmann Magnum 50?
While it delivers a magnificent and smooth smoke right out of the box, aging this cigar for 3 to 5 years in a controlled humidor (65-70% humidity) works wonders. This extra rest allows its lighter oils to blend perfectly, smoothing out the youth and significantly elevating its legendary creamy aromatic complexity. [36]
How can I verify an authentic H. Upmann Magnum 50?
Always look for the official Protected Designation of Origin label (Habanos D.O.P.). Every authentic Magnum 50 features two bands: the classic red-and-gold H. Upmann band and a distinct red secondary band bearing the "Magnum 50" name, along with original factory stamps and a verifiable barcode tracking seal on the box.
