"Big Disappointment — Gran Habano #1 Connecticut Gran Robusto"

I have enjoyed and recommended these cigars to friends in the past. as a good value for quality and price point. NO MORE! This purchase the cigars were dry and absolutely impossible to keep an even burn. Taste was still OK but every smoke I find myself regretting my $100 plus purchase of 20 cigars. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT — both the Gran Habano cigars and Famous Smoke Shop for selling them to me in this condition.

"Amazing Flavors"

Received a five pack as a free promo gift when I placed an order. They were an amazing surprise. A fairly mellow smoke that is bursting with flavor. They are a very smooth enjoyable smoke with so much amazing flavor. I stopped what I was doing more than once just to enjoy all the flavors. By the time I had finished the first one, the rest were moved from the misc. area to the top shelf. They really are a great smoke to relax with after a long day. They are reasonably priced so I recommend that everyone at least picks up a 5 pack and gives them a try.

"Good Cigar"

At first lighting this cigar I was not happy because it was burning very uneven. However it did straighten out so have to see what happens on the next one. The flavor is pretty good seems a little airy but not bad. The best about this smoke is it lasts a very long time and doesn t lose it s taste for a good while.

"Good overall cigar"

I bought a 5 pack based on others reviews and wasn't disappointed. Smooth and consistent throughout the first cigar. Definitely a milder smoke, but a great change up and the robusto is the right size for a quick night cap.

"Good but..."

A good smoke, but I was expecting a little more from Gran Habano, based primarily on other reviews. The lightly nutty and toasty flavor was almost too mild for the first 2", followed by some much vegetal and green notes during the second half. Overall, I have enjoyed smoking several gran robustos for a good 1.5 hrs each. Just wish there was a little more 'excellent' in the taste.

"One of my favorites!"

Wonderful cigar! On the mild side of medium, smooth all the way, No flavor lacking either. Has a richness that I really enjoy. The Gran Rubusto is a big cigar so have some time available to really enjoy it. I have had many robustos also, and they are just as good. Now if Gran Habano will stop raising their prices on these beauties I will be even happier! I will try the torpedo's on my next order.

"Love it!"

This is my favorite cigar. Nice and mild but very flavorful also very affordable. One thing I have learned is that price does NOT dictate quality. This is my everyday smoke.

"The best for the money"

An amazing smoke!! I love this cigar!!!

"now one of my favorites"

had a chance to meet george rico at famous smoke shop and try one of these so i bought a box after trying one I`am hooked what a buy keep up the good work george.

"WOOD AND STEEL"

"Cigar Insider" gave the Gran Robusto #1 a rating of 83 in May 2004 and "Cigar Aficianado" rated it 89 just a year later, indicating unpredicable quality in this line. The "Cigar Insider" taster noted "grassy and vegetal notes," while the "CA" taster claimed "...rich wood flavors and some earth, with some complementary spices on the palate..." Both thought it a medium- to full-bodied smoke. At 6 inches and 54 rings, it is a classic robusto. The one I am finishing now I recieved from Famous last week and has spent the intervening time laying up in my humidor at 70 percent RH at 70F. It is woody with earth tones, but not overpoweringly so. There is just a hint of harshness as the burn prgresses, but you would have to have a sensitive palate to taste it. I think another week in the humidor would cure that. The aftertaste is creamy and satisfying. The burn is clean with a white ash and no tunneling. At roughly $3.80/stick, I'd rate this a best buy and highly recommend it. But who knows what next season's will taste like?
