H. Upmann Connoisseur A — Refined Cuban Elegance
The H. Upmann Connoisseur A is a distinguished expression from the historic H. Upmann brand, introduced in 2013 as part of the brand’s modern Connoisseur line. Its Genios vitola, measuring 140 mm × 52 ring gauge, gives it a substantial presence while maintaining the elegant character associated with H. Upmann.
The cigar is made entirely with Cuban tobacco, with the wrapper, binder, and filler originating from Cuba’s renowned tobacco-growing regions. It is traditionally handmade with long filler and is presented in boxes of 25 cigars.
The smoking experience opens with a creamy combination of milk chocolate, salted caramel, cedar, and gentle black pepper. As the cigar progresses, cocoa, vanilla, coffee, nuts, leather, and sweet spices become more pronounced, creating a rich and evolving profile.
Its light-to-medium to medium character makes the Connoisseur A approachable while still offering enough complexity for experienced aficionados. A typical smoking session can run approximately 60–90 minutes, depending on smoking pace.
