He learned the processes and secrets of cigar manufacturing, purchased a local cigar factory at 85 San Miguel Street, Havana, and created the H.

Hermann Upmann became a director of the Havana Cigar Brand Association, an organization that works to confront the production and sale of counterfeit cigars .

His youngest brother, August Ludwig Upmann (born 1818) started to work with him and thus stayed in Cuba. Hermann Dietrich Upmann returned to Germany in 1848 and founded the cigar company Gebrüder Upmann & Co. Bremen. In 1864, his nephew, , arrived in Cuba. With capital contributed mainly by his uncle, they founded an organization dedicated to banking operations - initially catering to tobacco dealers and manufacturers, whose operations were spread through the Antilles. The company grew to such an extent that it was transformed into a vertical operation: they took care of the seedbeds, plant, harvest, manufacture, pack and, with their own shipping company, transported their products to other markets. Hermann Upmann retired in 1890, and was succeeded at H. Upmann & Co. by his nephew, , who continued the business with his partners and Theodore Garbade. The later was president of the Union of Cigar manufacturers of the Island. After Heinrich's death in 1914, he was succeeded by his nephews Hermann and Albert (Alberto) Upmann.
