Gran Habano #1 Connecticut Gran Robusto

"Good but..."

A good smoke, but I was expecting a little more from Gran Habano, based primarily on other reviews. The lightly nutty and toasty flavor was almost too mild for the first 2", followed by some much vegetal and green notes during the second half. Overall, I have enjoyed smoking several gran robustos for a good 1.5 hrs each. Just wish there was a little more 'excellent' in the taste.

"Store out of Nubs tried this Great smoke!!"

Nice mild smoke! Great burn and draw. I love great ash. I tried this when my fave retail store was out of Nubs. I love the #5 Imperial too.

Gran Habano #1 Connecticut Rothschild

"My first Gran Habano."

I had A great experience with this cigar. It had A great flavor profile that I did not expect from A milder cigar. The burn was near perfect with A very thin burn line. I'm not A big fan of mild cigars but this one taught me A lesson. Some mild cigars can deliver A lot of great flavors. I personally scored this cigar A 99, A near perfect smoking experience from A milder cigar. Who would have guessed it? Fifty minutes of sheer smoking pleasure.

"Not so good very loose cigar"

I find the wrap on this cigar to be sub par at best and a very loose draw. I would pass on these quality is not there.

"Fine and Mellow"

Smoked one of these last night with a glass of scotch. I usually like stronger cigars, but I found this had a very nice mellow flavor, and smoked clean throughout. Really enjoyed it. Might buy a box in the future.

"good smoke for the money but i wouldn't by a box"

It was a good cigar, started off a little spicy but mellowed out into a nice flavor. Fine for the price but I am not clamoring to smoke another. Good but not great.

"Excellent mild-bodied smoke!"

My favorite size of all the Gran Habano #1 sizes. Smokes clean and mild to medium from start to about an inch from the nub. A great mild Honduran. Jump on it!

Gran Habano #1 Connecticut Robusto

"Subtle flavor with medium body...."

Has a mild, subtle flavor for a Honduran but enuf body to satisfy any mild/medium-bodied smoker of Dominican or Mexican smokers. Milder than Nicarauguans.

Gran Habano #1 Connecticut Pyramid

"A little dissappointed - loose draw."

Smoke 6 out of the box of 20 of Connecticut #1 Pyramid. The draw on each one so far is way too loose, even with the smallest clipping of the end. Not packed correctly in my humble opinion as each one has been the same - too loose, which makes it a bit hot. Gran Robusto and robusto have a far better (correct) draw. Not sure what happen with this box or if it is the 'usual' for the Pyramid. I won't buy these again. 6 out of 20 is not a fluke. Plus they are more expensive!

"Excellent, light-bodied flavor for a Nicaraguan!"

Really like this cigar as a light-bodied summertime smoke. its flavor is subtle but consistent. There's no surprises of complexity, just good old-fashioned tobacco taste.
