It seems like this year Gran Habano Cigars got the first new stick on the market with the Gran Reserva Gran Habano #3 cigar. The stick features a wrapper aged 8 with the binder and filler aged for 7 years. According to a local retailer he said each year the company will release a limited production cigar. Today’s stick was rolled back in 2008 where it sat aging two more years in its finished format before reaching stores. He also added that there was a familiarity to the stick which he compared to the Gran Habano 3 Siglo and I couldn’t agree more. The Siglo 3 is no longer available due to General Cigars/Swedish Match owning the name Siglo.

Being a fan of George Rico the person and the brand Gran Habano I was curious to what he cooked up with his father Guillermo Rico and was eager to try this cigar, so without hesitation I picked up a few of them this week. Today’s review is the 3rd stick I smoked and from a different box and store then the original 2.
