Product Presentation: Box of 25
First Third
The Connoisseur B opens with the refined character that defines H. Upmann. Cedar and toasted almonds set the foundation, wrapped in a creamy texture that coats the palate without heaviness. A subtle hay sweetness emerges on the retrohale, joined by the lightest dusting of white pepper. The draw is effortless, producing generous smoke output from the 50 ring gauge.
Mid-Section
As the cigar reaches its middle section, the profile develops a richer dimension. Coffee appears alongside the cedar, while the nuttiness evolves into a more distinct roasted quality. A touch of earth adds structure beneath the cream, and a gentle floral note dances briefly on the finish. The body remains firmly in the mild-to-medium range, making this an approachable session that still holds interest.
Final Third
The closing third brings a welcome concentration of flavors. The cedar darkens to a toasted wood character, and the coffee note deepens. A faint leather quality surfaces, adding savory depth. The cream persists through the nub, keeping the profile balanced and smooth. The finish is clean, dry, and gently sweet — a composed conclusion that reflects the cigar's premium construction.
H. Upmann was founded in 1844 by Hermann Upmann, a German banker who arrived in Havana with a vision to blend his European sophistication with Cuban tobacco. It is one of the oldest and most respected

H. Upmann Connoisseur B Casa Del Habanos
$415.00
The H. Upmann Connoisseur B is a Robusto format Cuban cigar measuring 124 mm (4.9") with a 50 ring gauge, released exclusively for the Casa del Habanos retail network in boxes of 25.
An exclusive edition crafted with aged tobaccos, the Connoisseur B appeals to collectors and experienced smokers seeking a refined, mild-to-medium expression of the H. Upmann blend with the prestige of a limited-availability release.
The wrapper presents a smooth Colorado claro shade with a gentle oily sheen and fine, minimal veining that reflects the careful selection reserved for Casa del Habanos exclusives. The triple cap is cleanly applied, and the foot shows a well-ordered bunch of long-filler Vuelta Abajo tobaccos. Firmness is even throughout, and the 50 ring gauge provides a comfortable, cool draw with mild resistance — producing aromatic smoke with satisfying volume across a 40-to-50-minute session. The burn line is consistent and self-correcting, leaving a firm, pale ash. The flavour family centres on cream, light wood, and subtle baking spice, with a gentle sweetness and smooth finish characteristic of the H. Upmann house style. Hay and a quiet nuttiness add dimension, while the body remains restrained and elegant. The distinct Casa del Habanos banding marks it as a genuine humidor find. Suited to a morning smoke or a relaxed afternoon session, it rewards unhurried attention and pairs naturally with lighter coffee.
Every H. Upmann Connoisseur B from Cuban Cigars For Sale is guaranteed authentic, sourced through verified Habanos channels with worldwide climate-controlled shipping.

The Connoisseur B is everything you'd expect from an LCDH exclusive — premium wrapper, flawless construction, and a flavour profile that's both sophisticated and accessible. I enjoyed one on a cool evening with a glass of aged rum and it was a perfect pairing. Creamy, slightly sweet, with hints of roasted almond and light cedar. Not as bold as the Bolivar LCDH exclusives, but that's not what H. Upmann is about. This is elegance in cigar form.
Picked this up during a trip to the LCDH in Barcelona. The Connoisseur B is a hefty cigar with a dark, oily wrapper that smells incredible before you even light it. The smoking experience is everything I hoped for — thick, creamy smoke packed with nutty, woody flavours and just enough spice to keep things exciting. It lasted about 90 minutes and I savoured every minute. A Cuban cigar exclusive that lives up to its limited availability.
After years of smoking the Magnum 46 and No.2, I finally tried the Connoisseur B at a friend's recommendation. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. This is H. Upmann at its absolute best — all the creamy, nutty characteristics the brand is known for, but amplified and refined. The draw is effortless, the ash is firm and white, and the flavour never drops off. If anything, it gets better as you go. Ordered a full box the day after my first smoke.
The H. Upmann Connoisseur B is only available at La Casa del Habano stores and it's worth seeking out. This is a robusto gordo that delivers a rich, creamy smoke with notes of cashew, cedar, honey, and a touch of white pepper. The complexity builds beautifully through the cigar, reaching its peak in a magnificent final third. I've smoked plenty of LCDH exclusives across brands, and this one stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of them. Better than the Partagas Serie P No.2 in my opinion, and that's saying something.
