LCDH H. Upmann Connoisseur B Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 05 October, 2025 by Richard

The H. Upmann Connoisseur B felt like a really classic Cuban experience for me. Right from the start, there was that signature smoothness—cedar, light spice, and a creamy texture that made it very approachable. The draw was just right, offering a steady flow of aromatic smoke. Flavor-wise, it had a nice balance of wood, earth, and a touch of nuttiness. About halfway through, I noticed a floral note along with some sweetness that kept things interesting. The burn line wasn’t perfect, but it corrected itself without much effort. What stood out most was how refined it felt—everything was in harmony, with no harshness or bitterness. Compared to some of the stronger Nicaraguan smokes I’ve tried, this felt more subtle and elegant, though still full of character. By the final third, the flavors deepened, with more earth and spice, but it never lost its smoothness. This cigar gave me a real sense of Cuban tradition and why brands like H. Upmann are so respected. I’d definitely keep a few of these on hand for when I want something classic and dependable. Rating: 8/10

As a fan of LCDH, H Upmann and larger ring gauge cigars i had to try the Con B, the gorgeous wrapper, bespoke larger H Upmann and LCDH band confidently indicates the cigars quality and stature. Upon clipping I had to open the draw up just a touch with a perfect draw tool which is no issue for a regular cuban smoker, I lit the cigar whilst enjoying a glass of Margaux expecting to move onto rum or whisky but the mellowness of Con B paired surprisingly well expressing the quality of the cigar agreeing with the light to medium description, the first and second third were truly a moment in time the perfect burn bringing home sweet pepper, spice and cream which continued to the end, the final third constant touching up was required bringing strong earth and flavours indicating a couple of years ageing will benefit. This cigar for me is a showstopper i will be enjoying these for years to come.
