H. Upmann #10

[AVB]

I found this in my singles box. Can anyone tell me something about it?

All this vast knowledge must be on vacation. Anything on this cigar?

I dunno about anyone else but I've never heard of it and can't find any information on it. It's definitely not a Havana. Is it a:

H. UPMANN CONNOISSEUR
CABINET 96-10

If not, what are the dimensions?

 

[AVB]

Looks to be 6x42 from memory, I'll look when I get home. It doesn't say anything on the label to give a clue really.

Bill hit it on the head. Here is the write up from JR's:

H. UPMANN CONNOISSEUR
Handmade DR
Wrapper: CT Binder: DR Filler: DR
Medium Bodied

Arguably the '96 Connoisseur Cabinet Series is the best of the entire H. Upmann line. These are rich, dark, chocolate brown beauties with a 1996 vintage wrapper than looks good enough to eat - and they smoke beautifully. Lush, full flavor while remaining mellow and sweet. They are packed in natural cedar cabinets for long term aging.

All in all, not a bad smoke. If I remember right, they are 5/10 in strength with enough flavor to smoke again, but not enough to go gaga over. The whole line goes for $75-$100 depending on the size.

I knew there was a wealth of knowledge here if I just found the right miner to dig it out. Thanks Emo and you too Bill.
