H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 2 Cigar - Cabinet of 25

Date Added: Sunday 05 October, 2025 by Richard

The H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 2 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

A really nice way to spend 70 minutes smoking this cigar on new years morning. Very well built, smooth smoke all the way until I burnt my fingers lol. Just wish all cigars were built like this. Top 5 for me for sure.
