The H. Upmann Upmann No. 2 is the last surviving example of what was known as the “number series”. As for the Montecristo numerical series, H. Upmann identified the exact sizes with the same numbers. However, with the rationalization of the brand portfolio, the Upmann No. 3 and No. 5 were discontinued as early as the 1980s, ending in 2002 with the cancellation of the Upmann No. 1 and No. 4. The Upmann No. 2 is a Pyramid that, since its inception, has been sold in 25-count boxes.
They are dressed in bright wrappers that vary from Colorado Claro to Colorado. To the touch, it is relatively smooth, with some veins present. Construction and filling are optimal.
