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.
