H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut

The H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut is what happens when two master cigar crafters get together. Altadis’ Grupo de Maestros and Rafael Nodal of Aging Room Cigars artfully blended the H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut. An exquisite Ecuadorian Connecticut-shade wrapper surrounds a binder from the DR, which is stuffed with a stout blend of fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic to create a medium-strength cigar. But wait! There’s more. To give it an extra touch, this premium stick is topped with a dark, maduro cap. The H. Upmann Group de Maestros has a solid construction and a flavor profile that consists of leather and earth with hints of nuts.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Medium
Wrapper Color
Claro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Claro wrapper is light, yellowish brown in color.
Wrapper
Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
Binder
Dominican Republic
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. In the 60's, a Cuban seed was introduced and the resulting tobacco, called Piloto Cubano, became famous as a good substitute of the Cuban tobacco that was no longer allowed to enter the USA. Piloto Cubano is full bodied while the Dominican Olor tobacco is milder but more aromatic.
Filler
Dominican Republic
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Filler (or “tripa” in Spanish) is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the most premier tobacco growing countries in the world. The filler tobacco grown in this Caribbean island nation ranges from mild to full bodied. Olor Dominicano and Piloto Cubano are the main types of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic.
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
Tabacalera De Garcia, S.A.S.
Located in the Dominican Republic, Tabacalera De Garcia, S.A.S. factory is owned by Altadis U.S.A. It is considered one of the world’s largest manufacturer of handmade cigars. The Don Diego, Por Larranaga, Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, and H. Upmann are just a few of the more popular premium cigars they make.

Good smoke

Carl W.12/09/2023About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

Very nice mild cigar

Peter G.11/27/2023About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

This is a phenomenal morning cigar mild not overwhelming good draw good burn and in aroma that other people in the room really won't complain about. The lightness of the flavor is a benefit in this case. We're not talking about a Maduro here anyway this is a Connecticut and it is a true Connecticut in every sense of the word.

Drew S.03/16/2023About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

Great tasting cigar. This is a nice one to smoke in the way home from work.

Steven G.03/07/2023About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

Creamy smoke, with hints of cabinet spices, floral undertones, and cedar.

Andres D.01/02/2023About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

Very good cigar.

Patrick A.12/29/2022About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

The Grupo de Maestros is a highly consistent, quality cigar. I've smoked $25 dollar Dominican toro's that pale in comparison.

jordan g.09/16/2022About: H. Upmann Collaboration 9-Cigar Sampler with Torch Lighter

Good bundle torch is a nice addition.

trent a.03/04/2022About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

smoke 'em

Anthony P.01/16/2022About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

Really impressed with this one, a really nice burn, not over peppery with leathery taste, if your not a fan of Connecticut wrappers this one may change your mind

Anthony M.10/28/2021About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

These are great, worth the box buy

Jay S.09/24/2021About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

Very smooth, great with morning coffee. Very leathery.

Jason B.09/10/2021About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

This is a smooth smoke with the Dominican tobacco in it. No burn issues. Notes of earth, leather, and just a pinch of pepper and nuts.

weichung w.05/12/2021About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

Smoking this cigar after dinner with champagne,wonderful night

Derek W.03/19/2021About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

This was ok to me

Francisco T.03/09/2021About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

A little bitter (and bland) to be considered a medium Connecticut.

Luis A.01/23/2021About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

Well constructed well balanced medium body delicious cigar great overall.

Rudy D.12/29/2020About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

not a Connecticut fan but this is a decent cigar though

leo b.10/09/2020About: H. Upmann Collaboration 9-Cigar Sampler with Torch Lighter

Best sampler I’ve had! Great cigars, great lighter. Could weld with it. All varieties had excellent burn, draw and taste. This is an excellent value.

Howard R.09/10/2020About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

Very good morning smoke with your coffee. The only turn off to me is the draw is too tight which makes the experience not as rewarding.

Pedro H.08/02/2020About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

Good for me will buy again!!

Steve M.06/05/2020About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

Nothing to write home about but if you like a medium bodied but stronger tasting cigar this may be right for you. I'm a maduro fan so I'm a bit prejudiced.

Dan B.12/22/2019About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

was a decent stick but will try something else next tim

Jean Paul D.09/05/2019About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

I liked this one, although I had some minor issues with the burn, still a good and enjoyable stick.

al l.05/20/2019About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Robusto 5" * 52

There was nothing spectacular about this cigar. It was a solid stick but not sure I would order again. I would definitely enjoy it if someone offered it to me but I would not purchase this cigar for myself again.

Larry k.05/13/2019About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

Great smoke creamy flavors of almonds and leather sweet final 3rd

Charles C.05/06/2019About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

Ok Cigar. Medium plus strength with mild/subtle flavors. First starts off with a blast of bitter tobacco and then settles down to roasted cereal and mild roasted nut. Finish was a mild warm cream. Nice draw. Second third was like the first, but a nut flavor joined the finish. Strength notch down to medium. Final third started to burn a bit hot and the draw got really loose. Cedar and wood flavors. Strength went back up to medium plus. Overall an OK smoke, but probably wouldn't buy it again.

McArthur J.04/22/2019About: H. Upmann Grupo de Maestros Connecticut Toro 6" * 50

I don't usually smoke Connecticut don't really have a taste for it but I must say this is one of the best Connecticut's I've ever had nice smooth silky creamy good draw good taste definitely would get this again..
