Gran Habano Cigars

Gran Habano cigars were introduced in 2003 by Don Guillermo. This family of long-filler, handmade cigars . Don Guillermo uses tobacco from all four countries where he farms, and talks about a special leaf he favors for inclusion in most of his blends. “Cubito leaf is much like Mexican-seed tobacco,” he says. “I find it has great taste, aroma, and power. Although they use it some in the Dominican Republic, most people don’t know how to process it correctly, and this makes blending it difficult. Our method is to press the leaves in barrels, knowing the process is complete when all the moisture has disappeared.”

The Gran Habano line consists of five blends: Blend #1, a mild but rich cigar with a Connecticut shade wrapper; Blend #3, a medium-bodied cigar in Habano wrapper; Blend #5, a peppery, full-bodied cigar in Corojo wrapper; 3 SLS, another full-bodied cigar with a shade-grown Nicaraguan wrapper and the Gran Habano Cabinet Selection, also full-bodied, with a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper.

Those who are looking for a full bodied cigar should choose the #5, Medium bodied fans will enjoy the #3 and those who desire a mild cigar will like the #1 blend.
