CIGAR REVIEW: H. UPMANN CONNOISSEUR A

[Connoisseur Kim]

This cigar is the Habanos Specialist Exclusive Release which is only sold in Habanos Specialist and La Casa del Habano retailers. As soon as I light it up, I can taste the cedar, cream, nut, toast and wood notes at the beginning, followed by butter, chocolate, coffee, hay, leather, shortbread, spice, tobacco and vanilla flavours as well as Cuban twang from middle to end of the cigar. The flavour notes are blended so well without any harshness or aggressive spice kick that makes me feel as if I am in the cigar nirvana. This cigar definitely lives up to its name, "Connoisseur" and I proudly recommend it to both intermediate and experienced cigar aficionados.

Thanks! It is worth to grab a box purchase since it is one of the greatest CCs in the market! ?

Nice review - just grabbed some of these on 24:24 also from REG MAR 18, very happy to hear they're smoking well!

Indeed, they are smoking so well! Even at young age this cigar tastes like aged cigars which is rare.

I saw it on a YouTube video in the comments, but thats not a great source haha...CubanCigarWebsite.com doesn’t show them as a current release or a discontinued release so I don’t know. Thought someone here would know.
