Every H Upmann Royal Robustos Casa del Habano is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Few cigars wear the H. Upmann crown quite as gracefully as the Royal Robusto. Crafted by one of Havana’s oldest and most respected houses, this release was unveiled at the 2011 Habanos Festival and brought to market that October as an exclusive reserved for La Casa del Habano boutiques around the world. Production was kept deliberately small, with a limited run of roughly 5,000 boxes of ten, each cigar dressed in the familiar H. Upmann band alongside a second band carrying the La Casa del Habano logo. Despite its name, it is built on the Edmundo factory format rather than a true robusto, a generous 5.3 inch (135 mm) length paired with a comfortable 52 ring gauge that gives the blend room to breathe.
The first third opens with the soft, polished character that has long defined the marca, leaning on creamy cedar, warm baking spice, and a gentle sweetness reminiscent of vanilla. As the cigar settles into its middle stretch, classic Upmann notes of herbaceous tobacco and creamy coffee take the lead, with hints of caramel and a quiet mineral edge adding depth without ever turning heavy. Toward the final third the smoke gathers a touch more body, finishing with espresso bean, light oak, and a lingering, mellow warmth. Throughout, the strength holds at a relaxed mild to medium, which keeps the experience smooth from light to nub.
As a limited release built from well-selected Vuelta Abajo leaf, the Royal Robusto rewards patience. Kept in a properly seasoned humidor at around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a steady 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, the blend continues to marry and round out, softening its spice while deepening the cedar and coffee tones. Many smokers find these cigars settle beautifully after a few years of rest, so if you have more than one, consider smoking one now and tucking the rest away to follow how the profile matures.
This is a cigar for the smoker who values finesse over force. Newcomers will appreciate its approachable, mellow strength, while seasoned aficionados will recognize the quiet sophistication that makes H. Upmann a benchmark for mild to medium Havanas. Collectors are drawn to it as well, since its La Casa del Habano exclusivity and modest production make it a satisfying addition to any humidor.
