Product Presentation: Box of 25
First Third
The Connoisseur No. 2 opens with the composed elegance that defines the H. Upmann house. Clean cedar and toasted almonds greet the palate, underpinned by a gentle creaminess that gives the smoke a soft, rounded texture. A very subtle pepper appears on the nose — barely there, but enough to indicate the tobacco's quality. The Bohemios format delivers a focused draw, and the early flavors are balanced and inviting.
Mid-Section
Depth arrives gradually in the midsection. A caramel sweetness develops alongside the cedar, and the toasted nut character evolves into something richer — almost praline-like. Earth tones emerge softly, adding weight without heaviness, and a cocoa note makes its first appearance in the background. The strength moves from mild into mild-to-medium territory, and the smoke carries a satisfying density. The construction typically excels here, with an even burn and firm ash.
Final Third
The closing act deepens the profile modestly. The cedar takes on a warmer, spicier quality, while the earth notes become more pronounced. Black pepper builds to a gentle finish on the retrohale, and the cocoa shifts from background to foreground. The overall impression remains one of refinement — this is not a cigar that overwhelms but rather one that rewards attention. The finish is clean, with lingering cedar and a soft sweetness.

H. Upmann stands as one of the most venerable names in Cuban cigar manufacturing, founded in 1844 by Hermann and August Upmann, German bankers who began importing Cuban cigars before eventually establishing their own factory in Havana. The brand quickly gained recognition for its exceptional quality, eventually earning the prestigious 'Medal of Excellence' at the 1875 Havana Exposition. The company's rich history includes serving royal courts across Europe and establishing the famous H. Upmann Bank, which operated alongside its cigar enterprise. Today, the brand continues its legacy of excellence, producing cigars that embody the perfect balance of tradition, craftsmanship, and accessibility that has defined H. Upmann for nearly two centuries.

H. Upmann Connoisseur No.2
$305.00
The H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 2 is a Bohemios format Cuban cigar presented in boxes of 25. Part of the Connoisseur series, it carries the refinement and heritage that has defined the H. Upmann name since 1844.
This mild-to-medium cigar suits smokers who appreciate elegance and balance in a classic Corona-sized format. The Connoisseur No. 2 delivers the brand's signature smoothness — light wood, cream, and gentle spice — in a well-paced session of 35 to 45 minutes.
The wrapper is a smooth, golden Colorado shade, evenly applied and lightly oiled. The overall profile centres on cream, soft cedar, light nuttiness, and a fleeting floral quality, with a trace of white pepper adding definition. There is a quiet sophistication to the Connoisseur No. 2 — a cigar that does not seek attention but rewards those who give it. The construction is precise, and the draw yields a focused, aromatic stream of smoke. A mild coffee note and a touch of baking spice — cinnamon and vanilla — warm the finish. The burn is even and the ash holds well. The Connoisseur series represents H. Upmann's commitment to accessible quality, and the No. 2 embodies that philosophy completely.
Every H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 2 from Cuban Cigars For Sale is guaranteed authentic, stored in optimal conditions, and shipped worldwide with humidity-sealed packaging. A refined choice for daily enjoyment or as an introduction to the H. Upmann portfolio.

Smoked one of these at a cigar event in London last autumn. The Connoisseur No.2 stood out even among some very stiff competition from other brands. It's smooth, refined, and has a delicate floral note in the first third that I've never experienced in another H. Upmann. The body builds to medium-full by the end. A beautiful cigar for a contemplative evening.
The H. Upmann Connoisseur No.2 takes the classic No.2 torpedo shape and dials up the complexity. From the first puff you get a concentrated burst of cedar and cream, opening gradually into rich notes of walnut, leather, and a lingering sweetness. The tapered head lets you control the draw beautifully. I've been comparing it to the standard No.2 and while both are excellent, the Connoisseur has an extra layer of refinement that justifies the premium. One of the best H. Upmann torpedo cigars available.
