MC4 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 What do you guys think of Conni No. 1? I haven't tried anything much from the H. Upmann line other than Royal Robustos which I like very much. Connie 1 is a good size, but I was wondering how similar it is to the RR? Is RR a good representation of the H.Upmann line? and Connie would taste similar? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickdrinker Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Haven't smoked too many of them however, I know a lot of great BOTLs enjoy them and rave about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptowncigar Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I have a few singles on the way. Really looking forward to firing one up. I'll get back to when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 This is one box I've been meaning to buy for literally a year and a half but still haven't gotten around to. I've not heard bad things but the older iterations I've smoked were not terribly impressive (new production I hear is great). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbone Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 My god. Smithy turned me, the forum really (check the video reviews) onto the Connie 1 a couple years back and it's been am all time favorite since then. 2 HQ box rule in my humidor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfenst Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 How can one go terribly wrong with an H. Upp.- unless they simply don't care for the marca? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Since '09 the ones I have smoked have been very good.I have a box from '09,'10,'11,'12,and they are all spot on. The '10s went dull for a few months,but bounced back. I would not hesitate to get some '13s,every '13 I have tried so far has been good.[Jan,Feb,Mar] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZinZan Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 My god. Smithy turned me, the forum really (check the video reviews) onto the Connie 1 a couple years back and it's been am all time favorite since then. 2 HQ box rule in my humidor Yep agreed. Although i did try as a robusto sampler first and really enjoyed it. And then smithy's review made me commit to a box enjoyed it fresh and i just had it recently its probably with 3-4 years of age magnificent. I've got a HQ box on the way, this probably only second to RASS for the robusto size for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm probably out by myself here but I find it out on it's own from the rest of the Upmann line up: like the mag 46. Not taste wise, just by being a blacksheep of the marca, the connie #1 to me tastes like a diplomatico more than anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Upmann, like the other global brands, have different sub-blends, IMO. The Magnum line is very different from the Connoisseur. They embody different characteristics of an "Upmann." The Royal Robusto brings that raw power you find in Magnum, mostly the 46. It's a young release however, so I can't bare to comment on what else it may embody. The Connoisseur is a thing of its own; I'd say the closest thing to it so far in the marca is the Half Corona. That said, I have raved about the 2011 C#1s for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmurase Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 H.Upmann is one of my favourite marcas, especially the Sir Winston and the 2007 Travel Humidor Robusto. I smoked my first Royal Robusto recently and found it to be excellent, but not typical H.Upmann in my opinion. I found the Royal Robusto fuller in body and different in flavour than most other H.Upmann's I've had. I think the Connie 1 is good, and reasonably typical of the H.Upmann profile. I don't think it's similar at all to the Royal Robusto. I'm interested to hear other's opinions on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmc123 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I have some AGO 11 and am loving them, a few have been smooth christmas cake and stewed fruit to the nub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Love me some Connie's! I hate when I'm out, and can't wait for more! I am flying through my current box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidl Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 H Upman Connie 1 is on of my favorite cigar out there. I can't compare it to the royal Robusto because I haven't had it, but the connoisseur number one is one of the most consistent cigars available today, in my opinion. I find that flavor wise it has a lot of flavor but not a lot of power if that makes any sense. For some reason it doesn't seem to be very common cigar with which works just perfectly for me :-) Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptowncigar Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Received a few singles today. Will let them sit for a week or two, then give a try. Can't wait, never met a upmann I didn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mash Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This is the one Upmann I really don't like. This has become my favorite marca along with Bolivar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelsmithbeer Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 One of my favorite H. Upmann. I smoke 1-2 a week. I also like to give them out to friends and new smokers. Great flavor, consistent and the construction is always good. In other words a sure bet when I grab one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested to hear other's opinions on this. agree the RR is different,but they ARE young.also the ring guage is pretty big.deeper flavors and young tobacco sweetness. have had Connie 1s from claro to colorado,all are excellent,and portray the Upmann profile,leather,oak leaf,caramel,spice. generally the Connie 1 is the largest ring size I smoke from Upmann,I have some of the smaller sizes in my rotation.
