Connie A

Royal Robusto with age - no contest. (Caveat - never smoked a Sir Winston).

I love what my HUPC have aged into. If you can find any, well worth it. Other favourites are Connie A (pricey) and Mag 46.

 

[Ford2112]

Sir Winston, Connie 1, Half Corona, Magnum 46 and 50.

[gormag38]

First and foremost; H.Upmann No.2. (The past few years they have been on a helluva run. Outside of some Cohiba vitolas, it very well may be my favorite habano the past few years).  

Others: Sir Winston (classic but can be hard to source), Half Corona (small but really damn good, can be a good intro stick imo), Connoisseur B (again a great blend like the Winston and time can do some remarkable things with them), Connoisseur 1 (good size, solid blend), Mag 46 (again a great size and a blend that can have some more kick, especially when young), Petit Coronas (a discontinued stick, so you likely wont be able to find any unless second hand or on Bond Roberts, but with some years down they're really great). 

[BrightonCorgi]

Any of them. Perhaps there's some small ones that are just ok, but all the Standard and Heavy Ring Gauge cigars from Upmann are good.

[Montezüma]

Magnum for sure. Especially the 46. Great value too. Actually for value maybe the 50 even better. It is actually a rather long cigar.

[Puros Y Vino]

Mag46, 50. Connie A, HU#2, Sir Winston .The smaller RG releases are not that interesting, IMHO.

[Allroz]

Any of the Connie line or HUHC,

[yuppie]

Don't shy away from the Regalias and the Majestics, especially if you can find them with some good age. HUHC are phenomenal with 5+ years. If you're lucky enough to come across their discontinued Petit Coronas, don't hesitate. The Connie No.1s are awesome even when young.

[jtt12002]

Big fan of the Mag 54 - always a great and consistent smoke.

[Mike Mecklenburg]

For availability and cost:

1) Connie 2

2) Magnum 46

3) Half Carona

[Salomones]

Upmann no.2

HUHC

And hopefully soon Magnum 48

H Upmann is my favorite. You really can’t go wrong with any vitola. If I had to chose my favorite it would be a mag 50. Price aside I’d pick it over a sir Winston. I’m sure I’ll catch heat for that but I have a box of mag 50 that hits 94-95 every time. Next choice would be HU2. The only box of H. Upmann I have that are duds are Mag 46, a 2017 box that hasn’t seen a score over 87.

Coronas Major come in tubos and are great cigars even young. Hard to go wrong with any Upmann though. 

[BrightonCorgi]

This may sound like heresy, but I like the Magnum series from Upmann less than the non-Magnum cigars.

I had a Corona Major from 2010 (I believe) early in 2025; pulled it as a 'cold weather' cigar that I would easily pitch if I got too cold. I was blown away by what it had turned into. Sometime tubos just provide some damn good cigars

I've been wondering about the Connoisseur #2. Anyone into these?

They're great and easy to get ahold of. Plenty of them around to be had. Light one up!

Yes, I think they are fantastic and I have had 80% of the Upmann portfolio. Currently aging a '22 box that a buddy picked up in Cuba.

Great sticks, I prefer the Connoisseur No.1 but you can't go wrong with either honestly.

They age beautifully and punch way above their class for sure. Almost all tubos age well. I often pass over tempting tubos in my humidor less than ten years old.
