Gran Habano No. 5 Corojo Maduro Gran Robusto (6×54)

This cigar comes with a dark chocolatey looking oily wrapper that feels heavy and well packed. The “Cut and a light” kicks off with some pepper on the lips from the wrapper. It’s seems like a down to business type of smoke. Is has very rich flavors. The body in the first third is high low to low medium. Slightly reduced smoke output with a slightly tighter draw. There’s spice, cedar, leather, with a chocolate undertone. A very Aged cognac or sweet dark rum, and ripe banana, with a roasted nuttiness. At times the burn is a little wavy and others it’s perfectly even, a couple minor touch ups which it probably didn’t need. A sweet pepper on the retro hale. Pretty smooth. The second third has some coco mixing in. It leaves a syrupy liquor sweetness in your mouth after every puff. The ash held on for about an inch and a half, which is darkened grey in color. The nicotine is light. Full flavor, with a medium body. A slight almond every now and then in the draw. Nice deep, well pronounced flavors. Every few puffs you’ll get a chocolate flavor in the draw. This is a cigar you’re going to want to smoke evenly, it has tried to go out but if you over puff, it’s ruins the flavor profile. Towards the end of the second third I’m still getting a sweet very ripe banana but the rum sweetness has fallen off. White pepper retro hale. This is a very interesting cigar, with a rare flavor profile. I would give this cigar a 90 rating.
