H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1

The H. Upmann Connossieur No. 1 is a mild to medium-bodied Robusto-format cigar. Tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region makes this vitola an exclusive product. It is a rather mild, slightly sweet, hand-rolled Cuban cigar at a very fair price. The smoking time for this format is approximately 60 minutes. H. Upmann was founded in 1844 by the brothers Hermann and August Upmann, who came from a German banking family. To this day, the H. Upmann brand is synonymous with the production of excellent, hand-rolled cigars.

Immediately upon lighting, classic Cuban leathery and earthy aromas unfold, setting the tone for the first third. Subtle grassy notes further emphasize its classic Cuban flavor.

In the second third, a touch of sweetness emerges, underscored by mild peppery notes. The burn of this vitola is simply perfect, and it produces a beautiful ash. With each puff, the smoke volume increases, and without becoming unpleasantly harsh, more and more peppery notes are revealed.

The final third adds a few more flavors and becomes slightly stronger, but for a Cuban cigar, it remains quite mild. Even a beginner can enjoy this cigar to get a feel for Cuban cigars. This vitola remains perfect and very well-balanced right to the end.
