Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 25 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece
The Connoisseur's H. Upmann. Hermoso No. 4 format launched as an LCDH exclusive — a richer, slightly fuller H. Upmann than the Magnum line.
The Connoisseur No. 1 was launched in 2010 as a Casa del Habano exclusive — initially distributed only through the worldwide network of authorised LCDH stores — and later promoted to standard production. At 5 inches by a 48 ring (Habanos calls the shape Hermoso No. 4, the same as Cohiba Siglo VI but slightly slimmer), it sits between H. Upmann's Magnum 46 and 50 in body and runs roughly an hour. The blend is slightly fuller than the standard Magnum series — a bit more ligero in the filler, a slightly darker wrapper — which gives the cigar a fuller body while staying within H. Upmann's signature gentle character.
The smoke is the most complex in the H. Upmann commercial line. First third opens with butter, hay and a faint toasted-almond note; the middle drifts into Hupmann's creamy cedar with a touch of espresso and a hint of dried fruit; the last third delivers a smooth, slightly sweet finish that holds for the full hour without burning hot. Across Europe a box of 25 sits in the €560 to €690 range: Noblego runs around €595, Cigarworld €610, Cigarmust CHF 660 (~€695 after FX), Italian licensed tabaccherie €605. The Connoisseur No. 1 ships less frequently than the Magnum series, which makes a watchlist back-in-stock alert genuinely useful for regular buyers.

Prices and stock move. Save a price alert and we email you when any retailer drops below your target or the box comes back in stock.
Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?
Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.
The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.
How does H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 compare to other H. Upmann cigars?
H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 is a Hermoso No. 4, ring 48, 127 mm, medium strength, sold in a box of 25. The other H. Upmann vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are H. Upmann Magnum 46, H. Upmann Magnum 50. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.
Is the price for H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 likely to drop?
Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.
Short-term, prices move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
