H Upmann No 2
The H Upmann No. 2 has the same distinctly pointed appearance and substantial ring gauge as world-renowned torpedo Montecristo No. 2. It’s not as well known and much cheaper, but features a similar rich, earthy aroma. And such complex depth makes it a beloved of cigar aficionados across the globe.
H Upmann No. 2
As one of the oldest cigar brands in the world, H. Upmann created a lasting legacy when he developed the No. 2.
This luxurious smoke is made with a wrapper, binder, and long filler exclusively sourced from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. The figurado-sized cigar is 6 ⅛” in length with a bold 52 ring gauge that further creates an impressive profile. The pyramid shape has a neat taper and minimal veining.
Smoking an H Upmann No. 2
The H Upmann No. 2 torpedo has a weighty feel and an even appearance. Its oily wrapper suggests the depth of flavor hidden beneath and gives off a mildly woody nose.
This cigar is a hearty medium-bodied smoke with notes of fruit, coffee, roasted nuts, and a pinch of black pepper.
A consistent, slow combustion in the first third provides classic medium-bodied aromas of tea and cedar. After the first inch, the cigar gives a smooth, long finish, developing the richness of the cigar.
The second third opens up your palate to sweeter fruit and floral notes, and the final third ends with bold leather and cocoa.
H upmann No 2 Cigar Value
For many aficionados the H Upmann No 2 is almost in the same league as the Montecristo No 2. Almost, so no it’s not quite as good. But it’s significantly cheaper and there are far fewer fakes on the market.
H Upmann No. 2 Experience
For serious cigar lovers, the H Upmann No. 2 is a singular experience, appealing to people who enjoy both light and fuller smokes. It is a satisfying alternative to the classic Montecristo No. 2 and only gets better with careful aging.

My first order of Cubans. I was concerned about the authenticity involved in buying cigars via the internet–every box of concern was ticked, and I am enjoying very good Habanos. I will be ready for my next order soon. Good service also.
Derick –
I don’t know what year the ones I got were from because I only ordered 7 sticks as a trial to see what they were like and they are some of the best cigars I’ve ever had. Period
Warren –
My favorite current production piramide. Nice rich flavors throughout with great construction. Very consistent mix of cream roasted nuts and white pepper/ spice
Darrel –
While the name of this website is accurate to their products it’s slightly misleading; these cigars are not only the best cigars but are hands down the finest cigars I’ve ever tasted. A fantastically smooth rich smoke that I can’t recommend enough. Not to mention the delivery was professional and speedy. They’ve captured a loyal customer.
Jerrome –
The smoke has a mouth feel that is velvety to my palette, smooth and rich. As time marches on flavor, can only improve.This is my interpretation of the Upman# 2
Floyd –
Loving the condition of these cigars. A little stronger than I like but good
Leyo –
Some of my favorite Cubans. A great stick that’s got a nice medium flavor profile. A lot like a monte #2 actually. The cigars arrived in great condition. Won’t be long until I order again
Alvin –
Referring to non Cuban cigars, theirs no turning back.. Don’t get me wrong their still good smokes but the quality and service Luxury Cubans gives with the taste and beauty of th H Upman 2… Theirs no comparison…
Wesley –
I was rather impressed with the H. Upmann No. 2. Construction was flawless and the aroma enticing. The burn was even and slow and the ash firm. The first third was creamy and the second third opened up with some complex spice once it was warm. The draw was consistent and it lasted for about 70-75 minutes. I enjoyed it with a glass of Havana Club dark rum, which enhanced the overall experience. Bravo, Herr Upmann!
Gordon –

Consistent flavor profile, great smoke !!!
Dan –
Cigars came perfect. Supple and flavorful. Will order again
Lewis –
Not allot of woodiness, however, on the retrohale and the smoke itself has a mild woody aroma. Very pleasant. Its a mild to medium for me with definite nuttiness, coffee and a lil black pepper. A really great cigar to keep in one’s humidor.
Correy –
Shipping was on time and the H. Upmann #2 torpedoes arrived in perfect condition. Seals and labels intact with a box date of Feb 15.
Passed the black light over the Cuban seal and the crest lit up brightly.
Some bloom was evidence of proper aging and the uniform shapes and color were amazing. In the humidor now and resting for a future special occasion. Thank you Luxury Cubans for bringing these treats to my door.
Herman –
Ordering, shipping and handling great and box arrived in good shape, cigars themselves are okay but not special like Partagas which I normally smoke, will not reorder these.
Maurice –
Arrived in good condition. Very pleased.
Vernon –
My No. 2s arrived ten days after ordering them. The cigars appeared rougher than I expected but it was not due to the packaging or shipping. Looking forward to lighting one up this week.
Roberto –
Exactly the Cigar I was dreaming about ..A great smoke any time …Will for sure keep ordering
Clyde –
The H. Upmann No 2, in my opinion, is an underrated cigar.
Featuring beautiful nutty and creamy flavours with a hint a spice the H. Upmann No 2 is one of my favourite Cuban cigars of all time.
Again, awesome service from Luxury Cubans and competitive prices!
Hector –
From beginning to end, my experience was excellent. The only downside to buying cigars in this manner is the exorbitant fees charged by Canadian Customs, but I do not fault the company for this.
Shane –
Great cigar, smooth finish
Ricardo –
Received my purchase of Upman #2’s in two weeks. Very happy with delivery and quality of the cigars. Smoked one and the rest are aging in my humidor. Thank you!

Rick –
Great tasting stick and prompt shipping! I already ordered a few more diffrents sticks ……thanks
Lester –
Cigar was wonderful, Shipment of product, and delivery time was as stated on website. Thank you Luxury Cubans. I currently have my second order in motion as we speak!!
Brent –
Loved this cigar. For those who are familiar with the videogame character Big Boss of the Metal Gear series, a cigar connoissuer had identified the character smokers a cigar inspired by either a H. Upmann No.2 or a Montecristo No.2. Bought both and found the H. Upmann more pleasant in taste and weren’t as tight as the Montecristo No.2
Charlie –
This is a consistently smooth smoke with an even burn and nice draw. I’m going to need a third humidor to keep enough of my Luxury Cuban cigars on hand as I’m anxiously awaiting several other cigars that are currently out of stock. Excellent service. Very pleased,
Tyler –
Great long smoke! Excellent service and delivery!!
Raymond –
Very nice cigar with a great draw and medium finish. Highly recommended
Brent –
Rich full bodied cigar, not for beginners!
Raymond –
This is my new favorite smoke. Just the right size for 90 minute decompress on the back patio. They came packed beautifully, as usual. Always seems to take a while to arrive but they are crossing several borders…
Charlie –
The Upmann No.2s arrived and they look perfect. I usually the cigars down for at least six months and I am sure, like all orders I have received in the last ten years (Cohiba Siglio VI, Ramon Allones Specially Selected, Partagas D4s and P2s), they will smoke well. This shipment was delayed a few days by USPS missteps and the customer service folk were right on top of it. Thanks.
Tyler –
Beautiful cigar with fantastic construction that holds up over the course of the smoke. A nice smooth H. Upmann flavor profile with cocoa and subtle spice along with some core leathery notes. Great smoke with a consistent burn and draw all the way through. Would highly recommend.
Gilbert –
I had never previously bought Cuban cigars. After much research, I settled on Luxury Cubans and the Upmann 2. Have already made two additional purchases and am awaiting their arrival. This looks like the beginning of a beautiful relationship!!
Leslie –

H. Upmann No. 2 cigar was president John F Kennedy’s cigar of choice.
Milton –
