H. Upmann Connoisseur A (MEG FEB 16) 12DCRC

[havanaclub]

One of my favourite cigars and this was a true pleasure to smoke on the weekend as I paired it with some small batch 1792 bourbon.

 

Draw was spot on, nice firm pack with a smooth rosado, oily wrapper. Construction and performance was excellent.

 

 

1st: bread, leather, coffee

 

2nd: the shortbread picked up as well as the intensity of the cigar. Just so rich in flavour, you can tell they use premium tobacco.

 

3rd: woody, bread and more bread. I don’t know if I have had a Connie A with so much intensity of the classic upmann shortbread. I had a SW the previous week that was exceptional but wasn’t as full bodied as the Connie A. Could easily say I preferred this sample to the SW.

 

Cheers FoH.

Great review, looks like a nice oily example.    One of the very few big cigars, that has the big bold flavour to suit its format

Great review. I enjoyed a recent Connie A more than a SW as well.
