The Magnum 50 was launched in 2008, following the success of the Limited Edition of the same name in 2005. It quickly proved to be a standout smoke for the H. Upmann brand, and became a benchmark for comparing other large sizes produced by Habanos S.A.
Known for its refined and full-bodied profile, the smoke is never overpowering in strength. The smoke begins with a combination of spices, wood, and leather notes, which gradually develop into earthy and walnut flavors as the smoke progresses.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
