H. UPMANN

H. Upmann is one of the oldest cigar brands in existence, dating back to the 1840s. It was started when Herman Upmann quit his job as a banker in the early 1840’s and went about opening up a branch office in Havana. Upmann quickly realised that he could begin a commercial endeavour in the industry and in 1844 he made the bold investment of a cigar factory and the H. Upmann brand was officially launched. 

Later on in 1922, both the Upmann bank and the cigar business went bankrupt and they had to sell up to J. Frankau & Co., a British firm who continued the production of the cigars up until 1935 at which point the brand was sold on again to the recently established Menendez y Garcia Co., the makers of the famous Montecristo cigar. The new owners continued the production of H. Upmann cigars up until the nationalisation of the tobacco industry after the Cuban revolution.

H. Upmann's blend is composed exclusively of filler and binder tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo zone. 

Gold medals in no less than eleven international exhibitions during the 19th Century can be found on the brand's labelled boxes.

CONNOISSEUR NO. 1

 

Tasting Notes

This cigar has a generous flavour and aroma, easy draw and excellent combustion. The preliminary step into the Robusto cigars. Well constructed, an excellent cigar.

89 / 100

"...Overwhelming floral notes dissipate for a cedary, nutty smoke redolent of almonds. The finish is woody and dry..."

Poorly constructed with a large hole 1/3rd into the cigar. Had to re-cut it several times to get it properly lit. VERY disappointing.

Like other reviews I was pleasantly surprised at how good this cigar is. Mine have been consistently good. Excellent contruction and burn. Hints of spice, cocoa and earth. A cross between a Juan Lopez and a Hoyo Epicure No2. A great anytime smoke. I will have to get more !!! written by MrY

A nicely constructed cigar. An even burn with smooth toasty aroma, a bit of herb and a little coffee bean note. The taste only enhanced my glass of Johnnie Walker Blue. What a great evenig! written by Michael

This is certainly the best cigar I have smoked in the month or so that I have been smoking havanas! Everything about this cigar - the look, smell & feel of it, the way it cut, and best of all the way it smoked (easy draw, plenty of smoke, and lots of flavour, but not overpowering)! A very satisfying 45 minutes ;-) written by Adrian Boliston GBR

Chances are this Upmann will come as a definite surprise to most smokers. It delivers a lot more than it looks, a great flavour and mellow aroma, a nice oily smooth feel and smell. Add to this a great construction and burning quality and you have the picture. What I dont understand is why exactly they called it Connoisseur. Hm, strange... written by Mihai
