A classic. Compliments of Gran Habano.The Gran Habano #5 Corojo utilizes a thick, red Corojo leaf paired with rich long-fillers from Mexico, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. The result is a full-bodied smoke that issues a powerful bouquet of spices and complex, rich flavors. One of Gran Habano's finest creations, the #5 Corojo should be a regular member of your rotation. Gran Habano #5 Corojo received a well-deserved 90-rating noting: "A dark, attractive smoke with an elegant draw and burn. It’s salty and rich. There are creamy, coffee notes and a touch of nuts and earth, and the finish is long."
Fantastic cigar; hope they will produce more soon.
Best cigars ever! Price and quality can't beat them!
A couple evenings ago I smoked for the first time a Series No. 5 in the 5.00 x 50 Robusto size, and I am now officially sold on Gran Habano. I had previously tried the Corojo Vintage 2002, and while I enjoyed it, I felt it was missing something. Well, everything it was missing and more is to be found in this blend. It starts off bold and almost overwhelmingly spicy, then gradually mellows into a smoky caramel sweetness, but it's solidly full-bodied from the get-go and remains that way throughout. I suppose it's one of those "happy accidents" that I happened to smoke this stick alongside a certain Kentucky rye with an old New Orleans name— I cannot imagine a more perfect mate for this cigar. I must also mention a peculiar & enchanting note that pops up at the end of each draw, almost exclusively in the nose. It wasn't until a couple hours after I'd smoked it that I finally put my finger on what it reminded me of: "Oriental" blend pipe tobacco. If I didn't know better, I would swear there was some Latakia in the filler, and maybe even a pinch of Perique. This note remains constant while the rest of the flavors shift & develop underneath it, returning at regular intervals like a musical leitmotif to tie the whole thing together. It's also a component of the "room note," along with (yes, I know this sounds crazy) a hint of smoldering hickory. That is something else that struck me about the Gran Habano Series No. 5: it's one of the most pleasantly aromatic cigars I've ever smoked. I'm telling you, try this with a good full-bodied rye whiskey. You'll love it.
Good stick. Spicy at first with mellow finish. A must for any good humidor.
Excellent flavor and smokes well.
In the description of the smoke, CI calls it "classic". I would not call it a "classic" hands-down, but they are pretty damn good; border-line "classic." Of about the 10 I've had, they range from good to great. They only way I could see a regular cigar smoker not liking these is if you got a clunker or just smoked them too often and got tired of them. The price point per stick with a box purchase makes them a go-to smoke.
This is a bold and spicy cigar that seems to mellow a bit towards the end. I don't know why, but I enjoy lighting these and just admire the peppery drift, only occasionally drawing to keep it lit. It pairs very well with a hot cup of strong, black coffee. The room note is complex but very pleasing. I just can't figure this cigar out, but I like it - a lot! My only complaint is that I will occasionally get one that burns unevenly.
Love these. Had one and quickly became among my favorite. Good price proves you don't have to pay a lot to get a lot when it comes to cigars. Big boy cigars without the big boy prices...
Best cigar I have tried in my young cigar career. Perfect burn, nice taste, and long lasting. For 4 bucks a stick I will be purchasing more.
