It was created in 1844 by the Upmann brothers, who have managed to keep their brand alive until today, being considered an example among the most refined Habanos with a light to medium strength. Quality is one of the brand's most characteristic elements, demonstrated by the gold medals that adorn its image, obtained by the brand in no less than eleven international fairs during the 19th century.
