What is the H. Upmann Upmann No.2 Reserva Cosecha 2010 size and ring gauge?

This Reserva measures 156mm (6.1 inches) in length with a 52 ring gauge, adopting the classic Pirámide format. The 2010 harvest tobacco underwent extended aging before release, with wrapper, binder, and filler leaves all sourced from Vuelta Abajo's 2010 crop. Production was limited to 5,000 numbered boxes of 20 cigars, making it substantially rarer than standard H. Upmann offerings.

How does the H. Upmann No.2 Reserva Cosecha 2010 taste compared to regular Upmann No.2?

The Reserva delivers pronounced cedar and roasted nut characteristics with underlying dried fruit sweetness from the aged 2010 wrapper. Where the standard No.2 presents brighter floral notes, this Reserva offers deeper caramelized tobacco flavors with reduced youth-related sharpness. The extended aging mellows the typical Upmann citrus brightness into more complex leather and cocoa dimensions, requiring less rest time before optimal smoking.

When was the H. Upmann Upmann No.2 Reserva Cosecha 2010 released and how much does it cost?

Habanos S.A. released this Reserva in 2016, with tobacco harvested exclusively during 2010's growing season. UK retail pricing at launch approached £50 per cigar, with current secondary market values ranging £80-120 depending on box code and storage provenance. The six-year gap between harvest and release allowed complete fermentation of all three leaf components, distinguishing it from Gran Reserva releases which mandate five-year minimum aging.
