H. Upmann Magnum 50

In Cuba, H. Upmann Magnum 50 are generally priced lower than in international markets. Cuban cigars typically range from $8 to $90 USD per cigar, depending on the brand, vitola, and availability. Prestigious names such as Cohiba, Montecristo, and Partagás sit at the higher end. There is no real price advantage to purchasing full boxes, as the per-cigar cost remains the same unless you intend to leave the country with more than 50 cigars, in which case proper documentation is required to avoid confiscation by Cuban authorities.

Traveling? Tips for returning to the United States with Cuban cigars.

When arriving in the U.S., the question is rarely just about cigars it’s about how you answer. If asked whether you have anything to declare, the reply is simple and measured “No”, especially when the total value stays within that familiar $800 threshold, a number that, like most things, can change over time. 95% of the time you will have no issues.

If the conversation becomes more direct, the details matter. If you are arriving from Cuba, the answer should still be “No”, because any cigars or liquor will be taken away if you say Yes. If you say No and they inspect your bags, worst case they’ll confiscate your cigars and liquor, and give you a verbal warning. Do not attempt to negotiate or explain, just say “I didn’t know” nothing more. The goal at this point is to leave with a verbal warning.

Saying “Yes” will ALWAYS result in losing your cigars and liquor.

If you are arriving from Spain or anywhere outside of Cuba, then you can answer “Yes” and simply say you have cigars or liquor from Spain or wherever your journey last took you. Do not say H. Upmann Magnum 50, just keep it simple and say cigars.

Avoid all of this and buy from us, or have us ship it to you if you already sourced your cigars in Cuba.

It’s not about avoiding the truth it’s about understanding how it’s told. Like a good cigar, timing and delivery are everything. The goal is to arrive home and enjoy your H. Upmann Magnum 50.

From the first draw, you’ll find creamy cedar, toasted bread, and soft hay. As the cigar warms, notes of roasted almonds, light coffee, and a gentle sweetness begin to emerge. The final third deepens slightly with earth and cocoa, but always remains refined. It’s a steady, reassuring journey like walking familiar streets in Havana at dusk.

Keep it at 68–72% humidity and a stable temperature around 20°C. The Magnum 50 benefits from a bit of rest in the humidor time allows its flavors to knit together even more gracefully. When you finally take it out, let it breathe for a moment. That pause is part of the ritual.

The Magnum 50 carries the classic H. Upmann signature elegant, composed, and impeccably balanced but its generous ring gauge allows the flavors to open slowly and evenly. It’s smooth from the start, never sharp, never rushed. This cigar doesn’t seek attention; it earns it with consistency and grace, like a man who doesn’t need to speak loudly to be heard.

A well-aged Cuban rum is a natural partner, enhancing the cigar’s creaminess and nutty notes. A smooth cognac or a mellow single malt works beautifully as well. If you prefer coffee, choose something rich but not bitter. The goal is harmony nothing should distract from the cigar’s quiet elegance. Closing thought from Juan:The H. Upmann Magnum 50 is a cigar made for unhurried moments, when time feels generous and the day finally belongs to you. From the moment it leaves Havana to the moment it rests between your fingers, every detail is handled with care, so it arrives exactly as it should pristine, rested, and ready.
