The H. Upmann label is used on two different cigar lines, one from Cuba made for Habanos SA, and another made in the Dominican Republic for Altadis SA. This cigar is of the Cuban line. As with many of the Cuban brands, H. Upmann has been around for quite some time, with the name tracing back as far as 1844 (which is also the date which appears on the bands of non-Cuban H. Upmann cigars). H. Upmann produces hand made and hand finished cigars, the Majestic is a hand finished cigar available at a low price.

The Virtue was introduced as a milder cigar in the Man O’ War line, which contains some powerful smokes. A.J. Fernandez, famous for his involvement with many cigars (Nica Libre, Padilla, and the new Diesel to name a few), created this cigar for the Cigars International and Cigar.com websites exclusively. They were released earlier this year (2010) and have been heavily advertised. It is being said to be a very smooth cigar, which often goes hand-and-hand with mild cigars. You can get the Virtue in a Churchill (7.5 x 52), Lonsdale (6 x 44), Robusto (5 x 50), Salomon (5.7 x 54), Toro (6 x 50) and a Torpedo (6.5 x 52).
