Our Master Tobacconist Experience
Our staff has long revered the 1844 Añejo line as one of H. Upmann’s most celebrated offerings, and the Magnum consistently ranks among the most rewarding vitolas for its generous proportions and flawless maduro evolution. The cold draw bursts with dark chocolate, molasses, and faint barrel sweetness. Upon lighting, the first third opens with prominent dark chocolate, espresso, leather, roasted nuts, and gentle molasses sweetness with creamy texture and mild pepper. Transitioning into the second third, the profile deepens beautifully with richer mocha, toasted oak, honeyed sweetness, sustained nuttiness, and balanced earthiness as the barrel-aged Dominican tobaccos meld perfectly with the Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. The final third intensifies to concentrated dark cocoa, woody spice, lingering leather, subtle barrel sweetness, and a long, refined finish that leaves a warm, satisfying aftertaste. This medium-full to full, 70 to 90 minute smoke offers impeccable construction, even burn, and profound layered depth throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the H. Upmann 1844 Añejo Magnum so rare and coveted?
The 1844 Añejo Magnum features a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper aged in cognac barrels over aged Dominican binder and long-filler tobaccos. This process imparts exceptional sweetness and complexity, resulting in layered notes of dark chocolate, espresso, leather, and molasses — a true collector’s item that sells out rapidly due to its rarity and unmatched refinement in the generous 6 x 60 size.
How does the cognac barrel aging affect the 1844 Añejo Magnum?
The Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper aged in cognac barrels infuses elegant sweetness, subtle barrel char, and velvety texture that enhance the Dominican core tobaccos. It creates smooth transitions from rich dark chocolate and espresso early on to deeper mocha, leather, and spice later — delivering a luxurious depth and sophistication that sets the 1844 Añejo apart from standard maduro cigars.
Is the 1844 Añejo Magnum suitable for newer cigar smokers?
No — its medium-full to full strength, profound barrel-aged richness, and layered complexity are geared toward experienced smokers who appreciate full-flavored maduros. Newer enthusiasts may find it intense; we recommend starting with milder H. Upmann options like the Special Selección or Original series before advancing to this masterful, limited-edition robusto gordo.
