Picking Two H. Upmann Cigars

[Connoisseur Kim]

What are the two best H. Upmann cigars among No. 2, Sir Winston, Magnum 46? I'm just want to know the two best cigars of H. Upmann .

[DoubleDD]

Tough call. In my opinion, I enjoyed a No. 2 with age the most, followed by the Sir Winston. I also enjoy the PC and Mag 50. I've never been a fan of the Connie 1.

[sactochris]

I love Upmann's. I would encourage you to try some of their smaller cigars. I love the corona major's and have also really enjoyed the majestic's.

[...]

Have you tried any of these three? Different cigars, formats and price points...

I enjoy all three but smoke more mag46, then no2, then Sir Winnie once in a while.

[Fugu]

"Best" is in the eye of the beholder...

Those three you picked show a very different character within the H. Upmann line. I'd also count the Connie A among the best. The Mag 46 can be hit and miss and, in my opinion, needs the longest time to come around (highest mongrel-factor...). If you'd insist in a ranking of those I'd go: Swinston, Notoo, Mag46. But they are no question cigars for different moods and occasions.

As Chris has said, you won't go wrong not neglecting the smaller vitolas. The PC will give you a good intro into the marca without asking for too much commitment, and you'll quickly rise above your 1 cig a month quota. (Welcome!)

HUHC and Connie A... but they're all good.

Of what you listed, Sir Winnie and No2.

[scottyfwil]

From the list presented, I would rank them No2, Winnie, then Mag46. The Mag50 has become one of my overall favorite cigars over the course of the last year and encourage you to try one if you haven't already.

Sir Winston, Connie A and Magnum 50 in that order for me.

[qualudecosby]

Love Upmann's! Had a really good Connie 1 before dinner last night and an absolutely fantastic Mag 50 after. I mean that 50 was flawless.

Plan on a #2 at the beach shortly.

I'm not sure the OP is going to get much agreement on this one. Upmann's lineup is pretty full with many good models. I don't think I'd ever be able to rank the SW, No. 2 or the Mag 46 since they each have their own place and qualities. I don't think there's going to be any consensus on which one is the best.

That being said, some say the Mag 56 is the best Upmann right now, and the Connie A has also gained a serious following. If looking for the best Upmann, I think those are candidates as well.

Personally, I find the Upmann PC to be my most reliable, favorite Upmann. I firmly believe recent production is the same blend as the No. 2.

[luv2fly]

My go to is the PC. I have never had a bad HU. I like the entire line. Time to smoke is key for me so as much as I love the Winnie, I don't have the time to devote to it usually.

[stogieluver]

I'm loving the #2 right now, but close behind is the 46.

[Smallclub]

I'm just want to know the two best cigars of H. Upmann .

Depends on your taste and nothing else. You won't know until you've tried them all.

For instance: I've never had a good Magnum 46 but I'm a long time fan of the Connoisseur N°1. The half corona is IMO one of the best short cigars available, recent No.2 are excellent, and I still have to meet someone who doesn't like the Sir Winston…

[Ralphanator]

03 Sir Winston 02 Upmann PC the long and short of it!

[TheMonk]

Between those three you mention, the No. 2 and the Sir Winnie. I do however also need to mention the Mag50, the Mag56 LE and the Connie A.

[garbandz]

coro major,HUHC,connie 1 are among my top Upmanns

not fond of the Magnums at all.

No 2 can be excellent,Sir Winstons are very good to amazing.

Upmann is my best represented marca by a lot.

[ksblazer]

Sir Winston and the Mag 50's (if you get a good batch) are my top 2 upmann cigars.

I agree with NSX that ranking the three picked by the OP is tough because they simply do not compete directly and represent three distinct styles and profiles.

From a personal preference point of view, for what it's worth, I can't say I love either the Mag 46 or 50 to the extent others do, even though I do own both. Although they possess a degree of dynamic flavor and character, to me they are somewhat unidimensional and do not evolve as much as other HU. And, as others have noted, I have seen some inconsistency, even within the same box. On the other hand, I do love the PC and would recommend them highly as an enduring occupant of space in your humidor and a smoke that ages well.

[RijkdeGooier]

Just try singles of each stick In their line.

It will give you an idea of the sticks and you can pick a few to narrow your choice.

Absolutely the way to go. You can read all you want to get others' advice, but won't really know until you try for yourself.

[scottyfwil]

This thread has me all worked up on Upmanns. Plans for the rest of the day now include both a PC and a Mag 50.

Thanks for giving a lot of useful advice (I didn't expect such a huge amount of advice on my post)! It was quite tough call to figure about H. Upmann cigars since it has some interesting cigars like Sir Winnies. I'll try these three cigars one by one and then write a post about my preference ranking for these three H. Upmann cigars on this forum if I can .

This thread has me all worked up on Upmanns. Plans for the rest of the day now include both a PC and a Mag 50.

I'm glad that you and other guys (incl. beginners too) got more ideas about H. Upmann cigars (such as Mag 50) .

[potpest]

I hate the price point but the Connie A is a fantastic cigar. Sir Winston's are also stellar. Come to think if it, they're all very good cigars, I love everything Upmann. The most underrated is the Connie 1. All though this seems to be turning round as of late.

[Cohiba007]

Mag 56 are really tasty cigars. Mag 46 and Connie A are beautiful cigars as well.

[stigmata]

Why stop at two hupmanns when you can choose many?
