After slowly working their way into our hearts and minds by releasing wave after wave of affordable yet beloved smokes, the cigar fanatics at Gran Habano are coming to take over our humidors with the 93-rated Gran Habano La Conquista Robusto. Flush with expertly fermented and finely aged longleaf perfect for creating a medium-to-full bodied experience, these sturdy sticks will delight the palate in myriad ways. Complexity is assured through the inspired inclusion of Colombian, Costa Rican, and Nicaraguan tobaccos as the action-packed filler nearly bursting from beneath the leathery and slick Nicaraguan Corojo binder and wrapper.
Thickly bunched yet able to provide smooth airflow during all draws both before and after lighting, the core of each crafted vitola tempts the nose with spice and dry cocoa while the golden and oily outer Corojo sets the lips to tingle ever so slightly. If you discover the initial flavor of a lit Gran Habano La Conquista Robusto is overwhelmingly of charred wood then you didn’t remove the cedar sleeve which protects the lower bout of each 5” X 52 stick, a mistake you only make once. The actual profile, while certainly containing warm bursts of cedar, is heavily laden with black pepper, French roast coffee, molasses, peat, whipping cream, and cinnamon.
Like all of George Rico’s cigars, the premium Gran Habano La Conquista Robusto is a remarkable bargain for any enthusiast looking to take their smoking game to the next level. With a generous 24 sticks loaded into each box, just think of them as long-term investments in your daily enjoyment. Don’t worry, we’ll be here waiting when you need to re-up sooner than expected.
