In Cuba, H. Upmann No.2 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.
For online buyers, packaging plays a key role. Boxed H. Upmann No.2 cigars require official documentation and customs review before leaving the country, increasing shipping complexity and cost. That is why H. Upmann No.2 cigars purchased online often cost more than in Cuba, largely due to the required paperwork for shipping. H. Upmann No.2 cigars can also be shipped without boxes while maintaining the same quality, and are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee on delivery, offering a more refined and cost-conscious approach.
Advice: Always request a receipt when purchasing cigars in Cuba “no exceptions”. Without proper documentation, cigars especially boxes will be confiscated by Cuban authorities during inspection on your return flight home.
The most seamless approach is to purchase H. Upmann No.2 directly through us online or at our retail shop in Havana, Cuba. Even if your H. Upmann No.2 cigars were not sourced through us, our team can assist in arranging everything for you while you are in Cuba, ensuring a smooth and discreet experience.
When departing Cuba, airport customs generally allow one box and one bundle without a receipt. While some suggest higher quantities may pass without documentation, a more measured approach is always preferred. Maintaining your receipt is strongly recommended.
For those seeking a more effortless experience, shipping H. Upmann No.2 is often the preferred option—particularly when traveling with larger quantities or without full documentation.
Short answer: No. (Consider purchasing online instead.)
Long answer: Yes… if you understand how the conversation is meant to unfold.
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 No.2, 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 No.2.

A beginner can appreciate it without being overwhelmed, while a seasoned smoker will delight in its subtle complexity. I often tell friends: don’t rush it. Let it teach you patience, and it will reward you with a smoke you won’t forget.

H. Upmann Upmann No 2
There are evenings when the day winds down and the only thing that feels right is lighting up a cigar that demands your full attention. That was the mood when I reached into my humidor and pulled out an H. Upmann No. 2. Not as famous as the Montecristo No. 2, this cigar often feels like Cuba’s best-kept secret—a pyramid that delivers elegance, balance, and flavor in spades.
At 6 1/8 inches with a 52 ring gauge, the H. Upmann No. 2 carries the classic pyramid shape. It feels solid in the hand, the wrapper smooth with a touch of sheen, inviting without being flashy. The cut reveals a smooth draw, just snug enough to promise slow, flavorful smoke.
From the cold aroma, notes of cedar and honey drift up, paired with an earthy undertone that hints at the richness to come. This cigar already whispers of Cuban tradition.
As the flame catches, the cigar comes alive. The first puffs deliver a wave of nuts and honey, with subtle coffee bean and just a trace of leather. The smoke feels creamy, light to medium in body, but not lacking in depth.
Retrohaling adds more dimension—spice and a slight pepper note linger without overpowering. It’s refined, not aggressive, and immediately you sense what makes the H. Upmann No. 2 stand apart from its Montecristo cousin. This isn’t a punch of boldness—it’s a measured, elegant start.
The evening air was calm, the kind of night where the world seems to slow down, and the cigar matched that rhythm perfectly. Halfway in, the flavors shift slightly, moving toward leather, wood, and a gentle spice. Each puff feels deliberate, unfolding slowly, like pages in a book you don’t want to end.
What strikes me most is that classic Cuban “twang”—an underlying sweetness that dances with earth and spice in a way non-Cuban cigars rarely replicate. Compared to the creamier H. Upmann Magnum 46 or the more robust Partagás P2, the No. 2 finds its place right in the middle, offering balance and sophistication.
By the final third, the cigar has built momentum. The spice notes sharpen ever so slightly, interlacing with leather and roasted coffee. The smoke grows denser, the finish longer, and I find myself slowing down to savor it.
Even as the ash drops away, the construction holds firm. No touch-ups needed, no frustration—just pure enjoyment. It’s one of those cigars you wish would last a little longer, because every puff feels like a reward for patience.
In the UK, a single H. Upmann No. 2 price hovers around £24, though you’ll often find them for less abroad. In Canada, they’re a touch pricier but still worth seeking out if you want something distinct from the mainstream Montecristo line. For collectors or those who like to keep a few on hand, the H. Upmann No. 2 Box offers better value—and with a little aging, these cigars only improve.
For those searching online, you’ll find plenty of H. Upmann No. 2 for sale, often bundled with other H. Upmann classics like the Sir Winston or Magnum series. If you see a box in stock, it’s worth securing—availability tends to fluctuate.
Cigar enthusiasts often ask: how does the H. Upmann No. 2 stack up against its peers? According to H. Upmann No. 2 Cigar Aficionado, this cigar consistently earns strong reviews, often praised for its consistency and approachable strength.
If you love the Montecristo No. 2 but want something smoother, or if you’ve tried the Diplomatico No. 2 and Partagás P2 but prefer less spice, the H. Upmann No. 2 review stands as proof that this pyramid is in a class of its own.
As I set down the final nub, I realized why I reach for the H. Upmann No. 2 time and again. It isn’t about power or flashiness—it’s about balance. It’s a cigar that fits perfectly into a quiet evening, offering enough complexity to keep you engaged without overwhelming the senses.
If you’re searching for a pyramid that delivers refinement, character, and that unmistakable Cuban profile, this is one to add to your rotation. Whether you’re picking up a single stick, a Box of 25, or hunting down one for sale online, the H. Upmann No. 2 is a cigar that rewards patience and lingers in memory long after the smoke clears.
For me, it’s not just a cigar—it’s an experience. And it might just become one of your favorites too.
Reflection: Balanced and pleasant, this cigar lacks a bit of complexity to ascend higher, losing half a ring but still a worthy companion for the discerning palate.
