Every H. Upmann Magnum 48 Limited Edition 2009 is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
The H. Upmann Magnum 48 Limited Edition 2009 belongs to one of Havana’s oldest and most respected houses, founded by German banker Hermann Upmann in 1844. Released as an Edicion Limitada in 2009, this Corona Extra was rolled with aged tobaccos and measures 110 mm (4.3 inches) by a stout 48 ring gauge. The dark, oily wrapper and the compact frame make it an unusual proposition among the brand’s catalog, packing a great deal of character into a short, easy-going format that smokes in roughly 45 minutes.
The opening third leads with a clean cedar note that gives way to a pronounced vanilla sweetness, a signature that many smokers latch onto right from the first draws. As the cigar settles into its middle stretch, herbal and faintly fruity tones appear alongside richer cocoa and cream, with a gentle backbone of tobacco holding everything together. The final third turns slightly more savory, layering dark chocolate, coffee, and a touch of leather over warm cooking spice. Throughout, the body sits comfortably in the mild to medium range, never overwhelming the palate.
As an Edicion Limitada built around well-rested leaf, the Magnum 48 has aged gracefully in the years since release, with the sweetness rounding out and the spice mellowing over time. Keep the cigars in a seasoned humidor held near 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a temperature around 18 degrees Celsius. Stable conditions protect the oily wrapper and let the marriage of flavors continue to deepen, so there is little urgency to smoke these quickly.
This is a cigar for the smoker who wants depth without a long commitment. The short Corona Extra format suits a coffee break, a round of golf, or an after-dinner moment when time is tight but standards are not. Newer enthusiasts will appreciate the approachable strength, while seasoned collectors are drawn to its limited-edition pedigree and the way a small cigar can carry such a complete flavor arc.
What size is the H. Upmann Magnum 48 Limited Edition 2009?
It is a Corona Extra measuring 110 mm, about 4.3 inches, with a 48 ring gauge, sold in cabinet boxes of 25.
How strong is this cigar?
It is mild to medium-bodied. H. Upmann intended the Magnum 48 as a lighter smoke, yet its short, well-packed frame produces a lively, flavorful medium experience.
Is it worth aging?
Yes. As a 2009 Edicion Limitada made with aged tobacco, it has matured well and continues to improve under stable humidor conditions.
