A medium-bodied Cuban robusto from H. Upmann's Connoisseur line — cedar, creamy caramel and toasted almond with a triple-cap finish.
Flavor profile
Earthy · Sweet · Roast · Spice
The Connoisseur No.1 is H. Upmann's modern robusto, built on the Genios vitola (also called Hermosos No. 4) at 5 inches by a 48 ring gauge. Finished with a neat triple cap and rolled from Vuelta Abajo tobacco, it's a polished, contemporary Habano.
What it tastes like
It leads with cedar, creamy caramel, and toasted almonds, then settles into subtle earthy undertones with a hint of pepper. The medium body gives it more substance than the lighter coronas in the range while keeping the smooth, even draw H. Upmann is famous for. Construction is excellent, so it burns straight and stays balanced to the finish.
Who it's for
A great pick for smokers who want a flavorful, well-rounded Cuban in the popular robusto size without going full-bodied. It works any time of day and suits both newer enthusiasts and seasoned hands. Pair it with coffee or an aged rum.
