About the H. Upmann No.2 Reserva Cosecha 2010
The H. Upmann marque traces back to 1844, founded by the German banker Hermann Upmann, and remains one of Havana’s most respected names for refined, elegant smoking. This Reserva edition gathers leaf grown entirely in the 2010 harvest, with the tobacco rested for several years before the cigars were rolled and laid down once more in numbered cabinets. As a Reserva, it was produced in a limited run of numbered boxes, marking it as a special interpretation of the classic Pirámides format rather than a standard production cigar.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third settles into the gentle, woody character that defines the brand, layering soft cedar over a quiet nuttiness and a whisper of spice. As the burn moves into the middle, the smoke turns creamier and rounder, with toasted nuts and a hint of baking spice carried on a smooth, even draw that rewards an unhurried pace. The final third builds toward leather and classic Upmann sweetness, finishing with a touch of white pepper and a clean sweetness on the tobacco that never tips into bitterness.
Pairings
- A glass of aged Cuban rum, which echoes the cigar’s cedar and sweet tobacco notes.
- A cup of freshly brewed espresso or strong black coffee to lift the toasted, nutty core.
- A lightly peated single malt whisky for those who want a touch of contrast against the smoothness.
Aging and storage
Although the leaf was matured before rolling, this Reserva continues to evolve gracefully in the humidor. Keep it around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity at roughly 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, and give the cigars time to settle if they have travelled. Patience tends to reward the smoker here, since further rest softens the spice and deepens the leather and cedar tones that already run through the blend.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the smoker who values balance and finesse over raw power. Its mild to medium body makes it approachable for someone stepping up from lighter blends, yet the layered evolution across the thirds gives experienced palates plenty to follow. Anyone who appreciates the heritage of a Reserva release, or simply wants an elegant morning or early afternoon smoke, will find a great deal to enjoy.

Excellent cigar from H. Upmann. The H. Upmann No.2 Reserva Cosecha 2010 has a refined flavor profile – lots of coffee and cream. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 45 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.
