The Gran Habano brand encompass a four-wrapper variety of premium handmade cigars blended by the father and son team of George and Guillermo Rico and handcrafted in Honduras. Their goal was to marry rich flavors and superb construction with affordable prices, and, if you browse through the tons of high-ratings from industry experts and everyday smokers alike, it’s safe to assume that they accomplished this task with flying colors! Considered by many to be the “Bentley” of budget friendly cigars, the current Gran Habano portfolio consists of the #3 Habano, the #5 Maduro and Corojo, and the #1 Connecticut.
The Gran Habano #1 Connecticut cigars are expertly rolled with well-aged Nicaraguan Habano binder and filler tobaccos paired with a silky smooth, golden brown Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper. Made with the mellow to medium-bodied enthusiast in mind, the cigar serves up easygoing, well-balanced flavors of cocoa, nuts, toast, cedar, and caramel. Even if you prefer a stick with a lot more kick, this lush Connecticut style cigar has more than enough flavor to become your morning or mid-day smoking companion.
Dark brown in color and decidedly Cuban-style in character, the medium to full bodied Gran Habano # 3 Habano cigars provide scrumptious layers of dark roast coffee, white pepper, roasted nuts, cedar, and a sweet smoky aroma. We think this cigar is about as close as you will come to a genuine Cubano without needing a passport and a plane ticket to buy them!
Featuring a hearty combo of aged long-fillers from Nicaragua and Costa Rica, the Gran Habano #5 Maduro cigars are finished with a dark and oily Corojo wrapper from Nicaragua. this full-bodied pleasure is oozing with hearty notes of espresso, chocolate, spice, roasted nuts, and earth. A Maduro lover’s dream, these black beauties are just begging to be smoked after a juicy steak fresh off your backyard grill.
The #5 Corojo cigars are undoubtedly the most full-bodied blend in the popular Gran Habano lineup. The recipe consists of a nutrient rich, clay red Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper, a Nicaraguan Habano binder, and perfectly aged long-fillers from Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Peppery spice, rich earthy tobacco, leather, and black coffee flavors provide a heady, powerful smoke that is best tackled on a full stomach! Newbies need not apply, but the well-seasoned cigar aficionado will find the #5 Corojo cigar an extremely satisfying reward after a busy day!
