New Full-Bodied Nicaraguan Puro Slated for January ‘24
Doral, FL – Talk about planning ahead, Gran Habano Cigars recently announced the highly anticipated 2024 release of their new Corojo No. 7 cigar. However, fans of the brand will have to wait another six months for this blend that has been in development for several years.
Compared to the original, bestselling Corojo No.5 selection, Corojo No. 7 is a stronger blend offering a bolder, more flavorful smoking experience. The cigar boasts a dark, oily Jalapa Corojo wrapper followed by Nicaraguan Corojo binder & fillers. The result is a full-bodied smoke that issues rich notes of leather, spice, and earthiness.
The Gran Habano Corojo No.7 will be a one-size release of 1,000 limited-edition leather cigar cases with 10 cigars. The cases are also reported to include a branded Gran Habano lighter.
“Unfortunately, due to the limited supply of tobacco leaves available for this blend, we can only produce about 16,000 cigars per year,” said George Rico, President of Gran Habano Cigars.
