What is the ring gauge and length of H. Upmann Robustos Habanos Añejados?

The H. Upmann Robustos Habanos Añejados measures 124mm (4.9 inches) in length with a 50 ring gauge, placing it in the classic Robustos format. This vitola has been a staple of Cuban cigar production since the 1980s. The Añejados version undergoes a minimum five-year aging period in Cuba before release, distinguishing it from standard production Robustos through extended maturation in controlled conditions.

How does the flavor profile of H. Upmann Robustos Añejados compare to regular H. Upmann Robustos?

The Añejados program imparts notable transformation through its mandatory five-year aging. Where standard H. Upmann Robustos present brighter cedar and floral notes with moderate strength, the Añejados delivers softened edges with developed cocoa, roasted coffee, and dried fruit complexity. The extended rest reduces youthful sharpness, yielding a medium-bodied smoke with enhanced sweetness and diminished ammonia traces typical of fresher Cuban tobacco.

When was H. Upmann Robustos Habanos Añejados released and how limited is availability?

Habanos S.A. launched the Añejados program in 2015, with the H. Upmann Robustos among the initial releases alongside Montecristo Churchills. Production remains deliberately limited, with batches released periodically rather than continuous availability. Each box carries a secondary Añejados band and specific date stamps indicating the rolling year and release year. Retailers typically receive allocation quantities, making consistent sourcing challenging outside established Cuban cigar markets.
