Product Presentation: Box of 25
First Third
The Connoisseur A sets an inviting tone from the first draw. Cedar and a gentle nuttiness combine with a creamy texture that settles comfortably on the palate. The 50 ring gauge ensures a cool, generous draw, and a light white pepper appears on the retrohale — present but never dominant. A subtle sweetness, like dry hay warmed by the sun, rounds out an approachable opening.
Mid-Section
The midsection deepens the narrative. The cedar evolves into richer, more aromatic wood tones, and coffee makes its first clear appearance alongside a touch of dark chocolate. The nuttiness from the opening gains a toasted quality, and a faint leather note adds savory depth. The body settles at a balanced medium, and the draw produces silky, voluminous smoke that invites a contemplative pace.
Final Third
The final section brings welcome concentration. Espresso and toasted bread notes take center stage, with the cedar providing steady structure beneath. The pepper builds gently, adding warmth to the finish. A brief, sweet note of dried honey surfaces between draws. The close is measured and composed — no harshness, just the clean integration of flavors that marks well-aged tobacco.

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.
