Two data sources: Rows with a ● LIVE badge are scraped every 6 hours and reflect the retailer's current price + stock state. Rows showing Last verified · 15 May are historical manual research — the retailer may not currently carry this SKU or may be sold out. Always tap "Shop →" and verify availability on the retailer's site before purchasing. We're expanding live-scraping coverage to every SKU monthly.

Reading the "Duty / Ships" column. Duty-paid is where the listed price is genuinely all-in — excise duty + VAT already baked in. Buy from a duty-paid country and what you see is what you pay. Buy across borders and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise + VAT on top:

  • 🇸🇪 SE, 🇩🇰 DK, 🇫🇮 FI, 🇮🇪 IE: Customs intercepts inbound tobacco mail orders. A box of 25 Cuban premiums typically gets a €100–€300 surcharge at the door.
  • 🇬🇧 UK (post-Brexit): UK Tobacco Products Duty (~£5.31/kg + 16.5% ad valorem on cigars) + 20% VAT. A €765 box typically becomes £1,250–1,400 delivered.
  • 🇨🇭 CH ↔ EU: Outside the EU customs union — destination duty + VAT applies in both directions.

Tip: tap show all-in rows for my country to dim every retailer whose listed price isn't fully duty-paid where you live. Always verify the total delivered cost on the retailer's checkout before buying.

About this cigar

H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 — tasting notes and pricing context

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.


FAQ

H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 — frequently asked questions

Where is the cheapest place to buy H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 in Europe right now?

The cheapest verified box of H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 in Europe right now is at Noblego in Germany at approximately €595 for a box of 25 (about €23.80 per cigar). The full ranking — refreshed every six hours across 4 European retailers — is in the table above.

Prices and availability shift weekly. Save this SKU to your watchlist with the Save price alert button to get an email the moment any retailer in your country drops below your target price.

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.

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.
