The Gran Habano #5 is Gran Habano's most popular cigar and for good reason. George Rico's blend of full-bodied tobaccos, a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper, Nicaraguan Corojo binder and Nicaraguan and Costa Rican filler tobaccos, provide rich and spicy smoking experience. And the best thing about these cigars, if anything could be better than their great taste, is their affordable pricing. You can't go wrong! Gran Habano recommends this cigar for experienced cigar smokers, which is funny because experienced cigar smokers often recommend this cigar.
Fresher and better tasting Czar than the one sold in a box. Excellent full flavor cigar. Worth every penny! From a customer perspective, the increase in the number of cigars in the box (20) to the package 25 is negligible. Since the price and taste stay the same, the amount of cigar per package don't make a difference.

It's funny...I try so many different brands, blends, origins and yet I always return to the Czar. It has excellent full flavor without knocking your head off. A nice 2 1/2 hour smoke. It burns so well...the last 1/3 is the best. Plumes of white smoke, great tobacco flavor. I hesitate giving this review because it may become more popular. My number 1 in my humidor.

Gran Habano Corojo #5 Czar
Written by Jose F. Bernal on Oct 17th 2022
Great cigar: right size, perfect full strength and the aroma of real tobacco. No perfume or chemicals detectable. Cannot beat the price. However, taste changed in 2020 and 2021. Manufacturer must have used either different mix of tobacco filling, or they changed the proportions of the mix. The good news is that in 2022 Gran Habano Czar is back to its usual taste and high standard. My source for Gran Habano is Atlantic Cigar. When I noticed the difference in taste I called them. It was refreshing to hear them take the time to explain that these variations are possible from year to year and that they were going to report the change in flavor to the manufacturer. In my opinion Atlantic Cigar is by far, the best cigar provider in the East Coast of the USA.
