H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 2 (Vintage 2020) – Premium Cuban Cigar in Hong Kong

The H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 2 was launched at a virtual event by Habanos S.A. in 2020, and it is the first time that Habanos S.A. has introduced a cigar with a 51-ring gauge and a length of 5 1/4 inches. The factory name of the size is Robusto it is a new addition to the H. Upmann lineup, which already features several similar cigars. The Connoisseur No. 2 delivers a medium-bodied smoking experience with a complex and nuanced blend of flavors. It starts with notes of nut and wood, which become the primary flavors throughout the smoking experience. Leather and coffee mingle in the background, adding depth and complexity to the flavor profile. The pepper ramps up toward the end of the smoking experience, providing a satisfying finish. To heighten the experience, we recommend pairing the Connoisseur No. 2 with a glass of 15-year-old Dominican rum. The smooth sweetness of aged rum enhances the cigar’s woody and nutty undertones, offering a perfectly balanced pairing for evening relaxation or post-dinner enjoyment.
