H. Upmann Magnum 50. Vitola de Galera: Magnum 50. Length: 160mm (6¼″) . Cepo: 50 (19.84 mm).
Standar Production.
The H. Upmann Magnum 50 stands as a quintessential embodiment of Cuban cigar craftsmanship, offering connoisseurs a rich tapestry of history and refined flavours. First introduced in 2005 as a Limited Edition, this exceptional cigar swiftly garnered acclaim, prompting Habanos to elevate it to regular production by 2008. It was further immortalised in the legendary commemorative case presented to attendees of the tenth Habanos Festival in 2009, solidifying its place in the annals of cigar lore.
At a generous 50 ring gauge and 160mm (6¼″) in length, the Magnum 50 offers an ample smoking experience. The wrapper is silky to the touch, graced with a delightful oily sheen and a rich, handsome maduro hue. Upon lighting, the first draw introduces a smooth, creamy smoke, tinged with notes of cedar and sweet spices. These opening flavours, reminiscent of toasted nuts and a gentle woodiness, set a mellow, luxurious tone. As the cigar progresses, the complexity deepens. The second third brings forth richer, earthier tones, with hints of leather and cocoa, balanced by a delicate sweetness akin to honey. The retrohale adds another dimension, with subtle floral undertones and a mild peppery kick, providing a pleasant contrast.
In the final third, the flavours culminate in a crescendo of intensity. Here, the cedar becomes more pronounced, and the sweetness of the earlier stages gives way to deeper, roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving behind a lingering mix of wood, earth, and spice that remains pleasing without overwhelming the palate.

For me the Magnum series all are Great
some time I wonder why I did not try this earlier of my days of smoking
with the current high prices this is one of the best choices
chocolate-milk wrapper, great for 1:30 hour, for the night our, if you keep them in the humidor for a while, it will turn good
true cuban or classic cigar
it has bouquet of flavors, the species are the dominating notes all the way
also sweet with touch of lemon, chocolate and roasted coffee
the aroma is true cuban cigar
no never go wrong with it

Wrapper is milk chocolate in colour with a medium oily wrapper.
First taste: milk chocolate with cedarwood and a almond bitterness, but nothing to harsh. Very smooth and enjoyable.
Medium voluminous smoke.
The classic white-grayish ash.
Classic Cuban smoke notes, the cedarwood gives the dry but fresh tones.
Then the milk chocolate creaminess smoothens out in the mouth.
A very enjoyable hour has passed and I’m 2 cm from the band, it’s creamy and just lovely.
It finished off like a classic Cuban, with a slight bitterness.
90 points in my book.

Right at the beginning, when i picked up the cigar the valuable feeling was there.
I kept them in 72 percent humidity. The smell corresponded to a relaxed, spicy earthy note. The ignition seemed simple and pleasant to me.
The first third had a very heavy draw but a great aroma of light spring nuts.
Furthermore, the structure had taken shape in the middle third and the strong earthy tones and characteristic cuban notes were added. With the extra length, i got an hour and a half of smoke time.
The last third hit hard and took me on a journey into a relaxed weekend.
The bottom line is: If you want to start a nice conversation on a Saturday night, you should take a look at the magnum series.
