H. Upmann Connossieur A

H. Upmann Connoisseur A, box of 25. An exclusive Casa Del Habano and Hunters & Frankau release — honey, cedar and cream in a composed Churchill-class cigar.

H. Upmann is one of Cuba’s oldest and most distinguished brands, founded in 1844 by the Upmann banking family and today carrying a reputation for cigars of remarkable elegance and balance. The Connoisseur A is a special release exclusive to Casa Del Habano retail outlets and Hunters & Frankau, the authorised UK distributor — marking it as one of the more sought-after additions to the Upmann portfolio.

The Churchill-class format allows the blend’s complexity to develop over a long, leisurely session. The H. Upmann house profile is unmistakable: honey and cedar in the opening third, giving way to a creamy mid-section with roasted nut and light oak notes. The finish is clean, dry and composed — never aggressive, always considered.

H. Upmann cigars are rolled at the José Martí factory in Havana, one of the island’s most respected production facilities. The leaf is drawn from Vuelta Abajo, Cuba’s premier growing region. The Connoisseur A’s production as a CDH+HS exclusive means availability is limited by design — these are not produced in the volumes of the standard Linea lines, making a box of 25 a worthwhile acquisition.

A cigar for the long session, the important meeting, the milestone occasion.
