The H. Upmann Magnum 56 cigar Jar is Habanos’ answer to those of us who couldn’t get enough of the legendary Magnum 56 issued as a Limited Edition for 2015.The H. Upmann Magnum 56 debuted in 2015 as an Edición Limitada release, meaning that all of the tobaccos used get two years of aging before being rolled. This new packaging format for the Magnum 56 does not come with the same age statement regarding the tobaccos used. However, It is a double robusto Vitola that is also known as the Magnum 56, measuring 5 9/10 inches (150mm) long with a 56 ring gauge, and only appears in the H. Upmann portfolio.

Unveiled at the annual Duty-Free & Travel Retail Summit held in Cannes, back in the seemingly remote September of 2019, this special edition Cigar Jar was initially conceived to be sold exclusively via those two retail channels. Given the sudden collapse of international travel and air travel at large, we finally saw this marvellous cigar trickling through the Casa del Habano franchises instead, for the joy of all aficionados worldwide.

The Magnum 56 jar comes beautifully decorated with H. Upmann cigars branding details and literature about the cigar itself. It is filled with 20 outstanding Cuban Cigars, hand-rolled by the most talented torcedores in Havana, using the finest cured Tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Rio, Cuba. Arguably this is where the best tobacco in the world is produced.

It is yet unknown how many jars have been produced yet we have our money on this item becoming a coveted collectors’ item in the near future. If you like the brand and like to collect Jars, this one is for you!
