H. Upmann, despite being one of the oldest and most respected brands, has always been hit and miss for me. It is likely just my specific taste and experience but I don't find many that I really like. The Connoisseur #50 toro is one that I did really enjoy.
This one was wrapped in a beautiful dark brown vintage 1996 Connecticut broadleaf. It smoked flawlessly due to the construction that Upmann is known for. The flavor was consistant with an earthy undertone with sweet nutty notes regularly filling out the smoke. The aroma was excellent and rich and woody. Although I generally appreciate a cigar that evolves, this was a very enjoyable, smooth, medium bodied smoke.
