Gran Habano Corojo Maduro #5 Czar is a cigar with a long name, a long history, and most likely a long future ahead of it. Made down in Honduras under the supervision of George Rico, Corojo Maduro #5 is the maduro-clad sister cigar of the celebrated classic Corojo #5 that seems to have been around forever. The Gran Habano name is synonymous with value, quality, and versatility, and appeals to cigar smokers of every stature. For most, the maduro version of Corojo #5 is a welcomed addition to the lineup. It consists of a filler and binder blend of Nicaraguan and Costa Rican tobaccos married with a dark, toothy Nicaraguan Corojo Maduro leaf. The result is a unique cigar that's sure to leave a big impression.
Modern, Cuban-style packaging and bands give Corojo Maduro #5 a high-end feel, ideally complementing the superb construction and gorgeous Nicaraguan Corojo Maduro wrapper leaves. A firm draw delivers ample amounts of heavy white smoke, coating the palate with a spicy array of nutty, earthy flavors. Coffee, black pepper, and chocolate are the main notes, along with a hint of cherry and floral flavor on the retrohale. A spicy, clean finish ties the bold, rich package together very nicely.
Gran Habano Corojo Maduro #5 is very full-bodied. There's no way around it. The original Corojo #5 was full-bodied, to begin with, but this one takes a step further. Experienced cigar connoisseurs should be the main crowd for this one. The Czar size is a 6 x 66 Gordo that smokes long and cool, sometimes in excess of 3 hours. It pairs beautifully with tawny port and dark rum and can even be enjoyed with coffee. Corojo Maduro #5 can be compared to Camacho Triple Maduro and Partagas Black, other full-bodied maduro cigars that, like this one, just seem to be put together beautifully. If you love maduros, if you love full-bodied cigars, if you love value, and if you love quality, look no further than Gran Habano Corojo Maduro #5 Czar. We promise you won't regret it.
