Product Presentation: Box of 25
First Third
The opening draw of the H. Upmann Connoisseur A sets an inviting tone. Smooth cedar and a gentle nuttiness combine with a creamy texture that coats the palate. There is just enough spice — a light white pepper on the nose — to keep things interesting without overwhelming the initial sweetness.
Mid-Section
The midsection is where this cigar truly shines. The cedar evolves into richer wood tones, joined by coffee and a touch of dark chocolate. The strength has settled into a confident medium, and each draw delivers a satisfying volume of cool, flavorful smoke. The burn line stays razor-straight.
Final Third
Approaching the final third, the flavors concentrate beautifully. Toasted bread, leather, and a lingering sweetness emerge, while the earlier pepper returns with a bit more presence. The H. Upmann Connoisseur A finishes strong but composed, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that lingers well after the last draw.

This is not a cigar you rush. The Connoisseur A needs time to breathe and reveal its layers. I made the mistake of smoking my first one too quickly and missed half the nuances. The second time, I slowed down and was rewarded with a tapestry of flavours — cedar, honey, roasted almonds, and a gentle spice that builds gradually. If you appreciate large-format Cuban cigars and have the patience for them, this is a must-try.
The H. Upmann Connoisseur A is a Gran Corona that demands your time and rewards your patience. This is a big cigar — close to two hours of smoking — and every minute is filled with evolving flavour. Cream, roasted nuts, aged wood, a touch of cinnamon, and in the final third, a rich leatheriness that ties everything together. This is the cigar I break out for New Year's Eve, anniversaries, and moments that deserve something extraordinary. Compared to a Cohiba Siglo VI, I find the Connoisseur A equally refined but with more sweetness. An absolute triumph.
