Product Presentation: Box of 25
First Third
The opening draw of the H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 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 No. 1 finishes strong but composed, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that lingers well after the last draw.

A classy cigar that doesn't shout but speaks volumes. The Connoisseur No.1 is medium-bodied with a creaminess that coats the palate. I picked up cedar, almond, and a subtle honey note that grew stronger in the second half. Perfect construction and a burn that required zero correction. About 75 minutes of pure enjoyment. If you enjoy the more refined side of Cuban cigars, this belongs in your humidor.
There's something about the Connoisseur No.1 that feels effortless. Where other cigars sometimes struggle to balance flavour and smoothness, this one just flows. Cedar, cream, a touch of white pepper, and a long finish that gently fades with each draw. I've been smoking Cubans for twenty years and the Connoisseur series has reinvigorated my love for H. Upmann. This No.1 is probably my favourite of the lot. Superb cigar.
The Connoisseur No.1 is a Dalia vitola that showcases H. Upmann's tobacco at its finest. Long, elegant, with a gentle taper that feels great in the hand. The smoke is silky and aromatic, carrying notes of cream, fresh cedar, toasted bread, and a light floral quality that I absolutely love. It reminded me of the best Romeo y Julieta Churchill I've ever had, but with H. Upmann's signature smoothness. Smoked mine on a terrace in Lisbon as the sun set and it was genuinely magical. One of those moments where cigar, place, and time come together perfectly.
