Gran Habano 3 Siglos Gran Corona Rated 91 in Cigar Aficionado
If you’re looking for a full-bodied Honduran blend that has a very unique and exquisite flavor, then 3 Siglos is your cigar. From the creators of Gran Habano, this premium line is ideal for aficionados who enjoy a rich blend of tobaccos similar to those found in the famous Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.

Just outside of Danli Honduras, in the neighboring town of El Pariaso (the paradise), is a small factory owned by the Rico family. Father and son, George and Guillermo Rico, are well known in the cigar industry for making exceptional quality cigars. Enthusiasts are most familiar with their original Gran Habano line, which set the stage for the first availability of 3 Siglos in 2007.

3 Siglos has a deliberate flavor immediately noticeable upon lighting. Notes of peat, as well as spicy undertones are present on the palate with an underlying, unique sweetness that lasts throughout the entire smoke, producing an enjoyably long finish. The complexity of this sophisticated blend pairs nicely with most dark roasted coffees.

Gran Habano has emerged as a top small-production, boutique family of brands. Its recent 90-ratings, ’Best Buy,’ and ’Top 25 Cigar’ honors have finally caused folks to take notice. Each blend offers bold, extensively aged tobaccos and carefully selected wrappers, creating a full-flavored, smooth, balanced smoke that’s heavy in the hand and slow-burning to boot.

The Cabinet Selection is no different, and might be the strongest cigar in the Gran Habano family of robust blends. On the outside, a Cuban-seed Corojo wrapper glistens with oils, complementing its lovely reddish hue. Inside, a bold mixture of Nicaraguan long-fillers resides. The attractive box-press ensures a cool, slow burn, allowing you to truly enjoy the full-flavored, yet balanced nuances each vitola has to offer. Expect flavor in droves, most notable: toast, earth, nuts, and sweet spices.

Gran Habano No. 5 Corojo Churchill Rated 90 in Cigar Aficionado
The fullest bodied cigar in the entire line, Gran Habano Corojo #5 is a spicy, premium treat grown from the fertile soils in Honduras.

Located in the town of El Pariaso rests the Gran Habano factory, just outside of Danli, Honduras. This factory produces all of Gran Habano’s cigars from the original Connecticut #1 to the highly sought after 3 Siglos blend. Father and son team, Guillermo and George Rico, have built their brand from the ground up, creating unique, award winning blends famous for their complexities and deliberate flavors.

Gran Habano Corojo #5 is the strongest blend in the Gran Habano profile. The filler consists of Costa Rican and Nicaraguan long leaf tobaccos with a Costa Rican binder all held together by a noticeably red, flawless Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper. The combination produces rich, full-bodied flavors which accent bold nuances of spice and pepper that create a lengthy, robust finish. This blend received a ‘4.5 of 5’ by SMOKE Magazine.
