Gran Habano #5

Gran Habano #5 Rothschild

Smoked one of these a little while ago while mowing the grass. This is one these cigars that gets overlooked for some reason. (Maybe it's the $3ish price tag).

If you have not tried these you are missing out on a pretty decent cigar. It is not going to take you on a roller coaster ride of flavors but it will deliver a solid medium bodied smoke. This is one of my go to yard gars and they are all pretty consistent. No hints of nuts, vanilla, leather, etc, just straight forward, smooth tobacoo.

It had a straight burn, even with the wind blowing and never went out.

If you are looking for a good yard or fishing cigar then I would suggest you try this diamond in the rough.

Re: Gran Habano #5

These are a great cigar. I got a 5 of the rothchild for 9.95 on a cigar monster deal of the day. THEN, I turned around and won a 5 pack of the churchills for $7 off cbid the next week! These are WELL worth that kind of money.

Also, my gf's dad smokes the fumas and they are a very nice cheap bundle smoke.

Re: Gran Habano #5

Thanks for the impressions. I put these up there with my Sancho Panzas as good cheap smokes before resorting to bundled sticks.

Re: Gran Habano #5

Great review!

The Gran Habano line is very solid. Try the 3 SIGLOS if you haven't already....
