Gran Habano V.L.
New cigar on the scene and in the humidor. This one is from our old friends at Gran Habano. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Gran Habano V(ery) L(imited). Not many of these were made at all so they packed them in these fancy blue boxes as seen above. Each box contains only 15 cigars, making it a very manageable box purchase under $100. By the stick they're $6.75 and $6.50. I looked all over the damn place for a review because I thought I remember reading one in Cigar Aficionado a while back but I can't find it now. I'll put the Savant on it ASAP. Until then, though, I'll just tell you that this is a full-bodied smoke - more so, I think, than their Corojo #5s - with a dark, oily Connecticut broadleaf wrapper aged 5 years, Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan, Honduran and Columbian filler. Three great sizes to choose from - Gran Robusto, Churchill and Pyramid.
