A La Casa del Habano exclusive Cuban from H. Upmann's Connoisseur line — a thick 52-ring robusto with cedar, cream and roasted-nut depth.
Flavor profile
Earthy · Creamy · Roast · Sweet
The Connoisseur A is the hard-to-find sibling of the Connoisseur No.1, released in 2013 as a La Casa del Habano exclusive. At 5.5 inches by a 52 ring gauge, it's a thicker, more generous robusto built entirely from Vuelta Abajo leaf.
What it tastes like
The wider ring gauge delivers a cool, creamy draw with cedar, roasted nuts, and gentle cocoa over an earthy base. It carries a refined medium body, smooth and layered rather than aggressive, with the elegant balance that defines the H. Upmann house style. Like many Cubans, a little box age only deepens the character.
Who it's for
Because it's a boutique exclusive, this one appeals to aficionados who enjoy hunting down limited Habanos and savoring a slightly richer take on the Connoisseur blend. Give it time and a slow pace. Pair it with coffee or an aged rum.
