Band and Tube Variations

Collectors and enthusiasts will note that the Singulares went through several packaging evolutions throughout its production history. The cigar initially featured an early "Singulares" band before transitioning to the standard H. Upmann bands A and B in later production.

The aluminum tubes also underwent changes over time. Early releases were equipped with push-on end caps, while later versions adopted the standard tube design more commonly seen across the brand's tubed offerings.

Historical Timeline

As a pre-1960 release, the Singulares represents an important chapter in H. Upmann's history. The cigar served as an accessible, machine-made option for smokers seeking the classic H. Upmann flavor profile in a convenient corona format. Its discontinuation in 2003 marked the end of an era for this long-standing vitola, though it remains a point of interest for collectors of vintage Cuban cigars.
