When George Rico introduced the Gran Habano Corojo #5, the cigar world rejoiced in its full-flavored and bodied taste. It is hard to believe this stick could get any better, but the Gran Habano Vintage 2002 Robusto does just that. Not only is the blend improved with the introduction of an aged Corojo wrapper from 2002 but the price is much easier to look at as well. This medium-to-full-bodied cigar is perfect for anyone to try, whether you love heavier sticks, or you are looking to step up your flavor profile.
These super-oily dark and rich Nicaraguan Corojo 2002 wrapped beauties are packed to the gills with Cuban seed long filler tobacco from the finest fields in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. These sticks are chock full of hearty nutty flavors balanced with notes of cream, coffee and dirt making this a medium-to-full-bodied blend that nearly everybody will enjoy. The construction is flawless as one would expect from a George Rico cigar, and despite the price, the flavors match up with some of the much higher cost cigars on the market, even ones from Gran Habano themself.
At such a low price per stick, people will be hard to find a cigar that is this flavorful, this well made, and this cost effective. You can even fool your friends at your next Herf by making them think you are passing out much higher priced sticks. Given the heavy nature of the smoke it is best enjoyed after a good meal with a nice glass of red wine or a stout which can hold up to the flavors.
