H Upmann - Regalias - Tin of 5
H Upmann - Regalias - Tin of 5
A tin of five cigars, slim enough for a jacket pocket.
A mareva from La Línea Retro, offered in dressed boxes of 25 and in pop-lid pocket tins of five inspired by cases popular in the 1970s.
German banker Herman Upmann moved to Havana in 1844 and became both banker and cigar maker; his bank closed in the early 1920s but the cigars live on. Hunters & Frankau has represented the brand in Britain since the 1850s, and owned the factory and worldwide rights from 1925 to 1937. The blend uses only Vuelta Abajo filler and binder, and all sizes are long filler, totally handmade. Flavour: Light to Medium.
