What is the ring gauge and length of H. Upmann Magnum 56 Jarra?

The H. Upmann Magnum 56 Jarra measures 56 ring gauge by 150mm (5.9 inches) in length, classifying it as a Grand Robusto vitola. This substantial format delivers a smoking duration of approximately 60-75 minutes. The 56 ring gauge represents one of the thickest regular production formats in H. Upmann's portfolio, requiring careful attention to cutting and lighting technique to ensure proper airflow and even combustion throughout the experience.

How does H. Upmann Magnum 56 Jarra differ from the original Magnum 56 Edición Limitada 2015?

While both share identical dimensions and tobacco composition, the Jarra release distinguishes itself through packaging and availability. The 2015 Edición Limitada was produced in limited quantities with aged wrapper, binder, and filler tobaccos. The Jarra version, launched for Duty Free and Travel Retail channels, comes presented in distinctive ceramic jars containing 20 cigars—offering collectors an alternative presentation format without the limited edition scarcity premium, though both deliver the signature H. Upmann medium-bodied profile with cedar, cocoa, and subtle spice notes.

What flavors should I expect from H. Upmann Magnum 56 Jarra?

Expect a classic H. Upmann profile beginning with cedar and toasted bread notes, developing into cocoa, coffee bean, and subtle white pepper through the first third. The mid-section introduces caramel sweetness and roasted almond, while the final third builds in intensity with leather, earth, and increased spice. The 56 ring gauge contributes to a cool, slow burn that allows these transitions to unfold gradually. Construction typically draws well with solid ash formation, though the large format demands patience to avoid overheating.

Presentation and Packaging

This release comes housed in a distinctive ceramic jar containing 20 cigars. The jar format not only provides excellent storage conditions for the cigars but also makes for an attractive display piece. Each cigar features the special Magnum 56 double band, distinguishing these smokes from the standard H. Upmann lineup.

Release History

Though designated as a 2019 release with an official release date of January 1, 2019, the Magnum 56 Jarra actually reached the market in late 2020. The delay resulted in an unusual distribution pattern for what was conceived as an exclusive duty free and travel retail product.

Due to the widespread disruption of the travel industry in 2020, the intended exclusive distribution through duty free and travel retail channels could not be maintained. Consequently, these ceramic jars became available through regular retail channels, giving cigar enthusiasts who might not have had access through travel retail an opportunity to acquire this special release.
