Every H. Upmann Robusto Limited Edition 2012 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 Robusto Limited Edition 2012, known in Cuba as the Robustos Edicion Limitada 2012, belongs to one of the oldest and most respected names in Havana. H. Upmann traces its history back to 1844, and the brand has long been associated with elegant, refined smokes. This particular Robusto is not part of the permanent H. Upmann portfolio. It first appeared as an exclusive Travel Humidor release at the Cannes festival in 2008 and was met with such enthusiasm that Habanos brought the size back as part of the prestigious Edicion Limitada program for 2012. Like every Edicion Limitada, it carries leaves that were aged for at least two years before rolling, and its wrapper is dressed with the darker top leaves of shade grown black Cuban tobacco. The result is a cigar that looks noticeably richer than a standard production H. Upmann.
The opening third tends to be gentle and inviting, leaning on cedar, a touch of mint, and a soft sweetness backed by light cocoa. As the cigar settles into its second third, the profile broadens. Notes of leather, roasted nuts, and warm wood come forward, joined by a gentle spice that gives the smoke more presence than its mild reputation might suggest. The final third deepens further into dark chocolate and sweet earthiness, carrying a medium to strong cedary aroma that confirms its Limited Edition pedigree. Throughout, this stays a medium bodied Cuban, smooth and well mannered rather than aggressive.
Because the tobacco was already matured before rolling, this cigar drinks well today, yet it continues to reward patience. Keep it stored at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius in a seasoned humidor. Time in the cedar tends to round out the spice and let the leather and chocolate notes marry together. A box laid down for a few more years will only grow more harmonious, which is part of why this release remains a favorite among collectors.
This Robusto suits the smoker who values balance and subtlety over raw power. Newer enthusiasts will appreciate its approachable, mild to medium strength, while seasoned aficionados will value its aged complexity and its status as a discontinued Edicion Limitada. It makes an excellent daytime cigar and an even better collector’s piece for anyone building a cellar of vintage Habanos.
How big is the H. Upmann Robusto Limited Edition 2012?
It is a Robusto measuring 124 mm, about 4.9 inches, with a 50 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 25.
How strong is this cigar?
It is a mild to medium, medium bodied smoke. It is a little richer than a standard H. Upmann, as is typical of the Limited Edition series, but it remains smooth and easy to enjoy.
What does it taste like?
Expect cedar, dark chocolate, leather, roasted nuts, and a sweet earthiness, with a gentle spice that builds toward the finish.
