Any time George Rico and crew release a new cigar is a noteworthy occasion, but the newly minted Gran Habano Blue in Green Robusto proves they really are at their best when they let colors do the talking. Red is the defining color of their famous Corojo #5 line, black the hallmark of the Habano #3, and let’s not talk about the abandoned, yet remarkable, G.A.R White. However, this latest wondrous cigar is rooted in the cool and creamy Connecticut #1, easily identified by a bright green secondary band. So if the Green is the spectacular Connecticut Shade wrapper that is utilized as the wrapper, what is the Blue within? We dunno, but since it’s a succulent and powerful blend of all Nicaraguan longleaf tobaccos we’re really not going to ask pointless questions.
If you’ve been following cigar trends for the past few years, you know that shade-wrapped vitolas are no longer just inoffensively ultra-mild smokes for the common man but instead potential flavor-bombs in their own right. Beneath its blue and gold band and large cedar sleeve, the 5” X 52 Gran Habano Blue in Green Robusto is right there among the best-of-the-best, a medium-strength stogie that can thrill both the novice aficionado and the crusty old-timer. Flush with cedar and spice with hints of raw sugar from the start, the cigar soon steps forward to present oak and oat, dark berries and dark chocolate, and loads of cream, black pepper, and citrus.
