H. Upmann cigar brand made its appearance on October 15th, 1844. Its creators, Hermann and August Hupmann began using specially imprinted boxes of cigars as promotional items for their banking firm. The popularity of this cigar brand has far exceeded the expectations; therefore H. Upmann continues to be produced up to this day.

In 1922, the cigar brand was sold to the British firm of J. Frankau and finally in 1935 to Menendez, Garcia & Cia., prior to nationalization, continues today in the H. Upmann factory, known today as Jose Marti.
