Every H Upmann Magnum 52 Year Of The Tiger is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
H. Upmann remains one of the oldest names in the Cuban tradition, a marca built on refinement rather than raw power. The Magnum 52 Year Of The Tiger arrived in 2022 as a special Edicion Limitada created by Habanos S.A. to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the incoming Year of the Tiger. Presented in striking red lacquered boxes of 18 and dressed in double bands with a dedicated Year of the Tiger foot ring, this Robusto Extra takes the well loved Magnum 52 format and reworks it with aged, limited edition tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Rio. The result is a commemorative smoke that honors the house style while giving collectors something genuinely scarce.
The opening third is gentle and inviting, leaning on creamy cedar, fresh nut, and a soft thread of light spice that signals the approachable character H. Upmann is known for. As the cigar settles into its middle stretch, the limited edition tobacco begins to show its hand, layering in earth, leather, and a rounded cocoa sweetness alongside notes of coffee. The final third gathers more weight, pushing deeper dark fruit sweetness and a more pronounced spice that lingers without ever tipping into harshness, keeping the experience squarely in mild to medium territory from light to nub.
Limited edition Habanos are built with older leaf and tend to reward patience, and the Magnum 52 Year Of The Tiger is no exception. Keep your box in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a steady 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. A few years of rest will let the spice round off and the dark fruit and chocolate notes meld further, deepening an already elegant profile. Because production was finite, well stored examples also hold their appeal as a piece worth setting aside.
This cigar suits collectors who chase Edicion Limitada releases as well as smokers who prefer a refined, lower intensity Cuban over a heavy bomber. The accessible strength makes it a fine choice for those who want depth and complexity without a fatiguing nicotine punch, while the limited 2022 pedigree gives seasoned aficionados a genuine talking point. If you appreciate H. Upmann’s classic balance and want a commemorative smoke with cellar potential, this one earns its place in the box.
