H. Upmann Rolls Out Royal Robustos for its Casa del Habano Franchise


29/06/2011

The Royal Robustos de H. Upmann (ring gauge 52 x 135 mm long) is a heck of a terrific long-burning habano that clings to the brand’s distinctive features in this unique blend, featuring a soft-to-mild taste coupled with an intense and pleasant aftertaste.

It’s been created with the finest leaves from the Vuelta Abajo plantations, the undisputed home to the world’s best premium cigars, Quality Director for the H. Upmann Cigar Factory Zenaida Gonzalez told Habanos News.

During a grand tour around this Habano shrine, Mrs. Gonzalez said the Royal Robustos features a new and peculiar blends that holds on tight to the brand’s distinctive features. It has been made by the finest master cigar rollers who thought of a product designed for those habano smokers who like soft-to-mild tastes.

The new vitola’s draw, taste, strength and burning –let alone the overall quality of it- have yielded excellent upshots in the countless tasting tests experts have so far conducted on both products. These favorable outcomes bear out the well-deserved and longstanding fame of the H. Upmann Factory. For many years, none of the H. Upmann products have been sent back due to poor quality conditions.

H. Upmann Royal Robustos now rounds out the vitola stock of H. Upmann, a brand founded by a German banker whose passion for habanos prompted him to settle down in Havana back in 1840.

Considered as an example within the realm of the most refined habanos, with its soft-to-mild taste, H. Upmann has always been a highly prestigious brand that has grabbed numerous gold medals that now deck out its boxes and cases. Those top recognitions were won in no less than eleven international tradeshows and fairs held in the 19th century. Both the medals and H. Upmann’s own signature are two of the brand’s hallmarks.

Among H. Upmann’s most renowned vitolas, Epicures, Magnum 46, Petit Coronas, Sir Winston Julieta, Upmann Nº2 Piramide, and more recently Half Corona and Royal Robustos, are major standouts.
