About the H. Upmann Magnum 56 EDICION LIMITADA 2015
H. Upmann has carried a reputation for refined, approachable Havanas since the brand was founded in the nineteenth century, and the Magnum 56 Edicion Limitada 2015 pushes that legacy into bolder territory. Rolled with aged tobaccos reserved for the annual limited series, this release carried the widest ring gauge ever seen in the H. Upmann portfolio at the time, and one of the thickest in the entire Edicion Limitada history. The Gordito format stretches to 150 millimeters, giving the blend a generous chamber to breathe and evolve across an unhurried smoke.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans into the house character with leather, earth, and a gentle dusting of white pepper, while toasted nuts and bread crust round out the early draws. Through the middle the smoke gains weight, layering in roasted coffee and a touch of cocoa over a creamy core. By the final third the cigar settles into a steady, slightly sweet finish, holding the earthy and leathery thread that defines the blend from light to nub.
Pairings
- An aged Cuban rum, whose caramel and oak echo the cigar’s nutty, toasted register.
- A cup of dark roast coffee or espresso to mirror the roasted notes in the second third.
- A lightly peated single malt for those who want the leather and earth to stand out.
Aging and storage
Limited editions like this one are built to reward patience, and the Magnum 56 has long been praised for how gracefully it matures. Keep it at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity in a seasoned humidor, ideally around 18 degrees Celsius. Given the thick ring gauge, several months of rest help the wrapper and filler marry, smoothing any youthful edges and deepening the creamy, sweet undertones.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the smoker who enjoys a wide vitola and has the time to sit with it. The mild to medium opening makes it welcoming rather than aggressive, yet the slow build of flavor keeps experienced palates engaged. If you appreciate classic H. Upmann elegance in a larger, more indulgent shape, the Magnum 56 belongs in your rotation.
