Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?
The Duty / Ships column above tells you exactly that. Each retailer listed price is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) only in their home country. Buy from a German retailer as a German buyer: what you see is what you pay. Buy cross-border (e.g. a Swiss retailer shipping to Germany, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or Ireland) and the destination country will charge its own tobacco excise + VAT at the door — typically €100–€300 extra on a box of 25 Habanos, sometimes much more for the UK.
If you set your destination country on the page, every row that is genuinely all-in for you gets highlighted in green. The dimmed rows are honest-looking prices that will cost more than they show.
How does H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 compare to other H. Upmann cigars?
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.
If you want a side-by-side comparison of H. Upmann other vitolas at current European prices, the SKUs we track are: H. Upmann Magnum 46, H. Upmann Magnum 50. Each link opens its own live price-comparison page.
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 fluctuate at the retailer level — Swiss promotional weeks, German LCDH clearance, the occasional Spanish over-stock. The Finder catches those. A drop alert with no target price will email you on any meaningful reduction; setting a target locks the alert to your specific budget.

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.
