The cigar review website NiceTightAsh.com has created a video discussing the Gran Habano Cabinet Selection. Ben, the reviewer, chooses to smoke the Robusto size for this 21 minute film.
Ben picked the Gran Habano Cabinet Selection through the recommendation of the local tobacconist. Listen carefully as he describes the cigar as “stellar“, “just right” and “real flavorful“.
Ben, and everyone at NiceTightAsh.com, we would personally like to thank you for taking the time to make this great cigar review video. And you Mr./Mrs. local tobacconist – thank you for helping us create a great partnership and keeping your smokers happy!
Blake (gibson_es) on the Puff.com forum was kind enough to post his views on the Gran Habano Vintage 2002 cigar. Puff.com is one of the largest cigar communities on the internet of which you can find us posting under the name “GranHabano”.
And here is the review in full: PRE-LIGHT:
as far as presentation, this wins. you have two bands, a slip of cider, and a little ribbon at the bottom. i give it the ‘ol squeeze, and it seems to be the same from cap to foot. a little give but not too much. i love it all ready.
THE SMOKE:
kind of hard to get lit properly. took twice as long as expected. but i finally got it. im surprised to find that theres not really an ash taste starting this one out. the draw is very good, and as for taste. i get a nice wood taste, some ceder and some of another wood i cant quite peg, it’s also quite peppery, i assume this is from the wrapper, and a little creamy. the ash seems to be holding on tight. as i will later find it holds on pretty much till the end, the sign of a well made cigar i sapose. as i get close to the 1/3 mark. i notice a very slight hint of liquorish, but it goes away, its so faint. im questioning if i even tasted it. as it gets closer to 1/4 the wood taste starts to get a little more faint compared to the pepper that is getting more pronounced. and every now and then i find that liquorish taste. though its more obvious when i retrohale. once past the 1/4 mark the pepper and wood seems to flip, the wood from the middle til i put out the cigar, progressively gets strong, as the pepper slowly gets lighter in taste, but make no mistake, through out the cigar there both the main flavors you get. and all though the amount does very through out the cigar, the flavor overall stays the same, but thats ok. because its a very good flavor that im not getting tired of. as you can see, it was good enough that i nubbed this one til the smoke was too hot to taste good anymore.
OVERALL:
dont buy one….
…..buy a whole bundle, at $2 a stick (when you get a bundle) its an epic win. i would pay over twice that price for one of these if thats what they whent for. very good cigar.

Gran Habano and G.A.R Cigars has got to have some of the greatest customers in the industry! Many times throughout the week our customers will submit various artistic photos (in this case), drawings, stories and pictures of our cigars in actions. We can’t tell you how much we love receiving these items and the true joy it brings everyone in the office! That being said, we decided we would start showcasing some of the items for everyone to see.
This is a G.A.R Lux band photo (like you really need to be told) that was created and submitted by our good friend Walt White. Mr.White is actually part of our cigar community as a writer/contributor to StogieReview.com. Additionally Walt manages a secondary personal site, with lots of cigar related information, called Walt In PA. Thank you Walt for the great photo!
Gran Habano and one of our great retailers, Casa Fuma Fine Cigars, recently made news as we try to help a local family in Arizona.
A father of 5, Francis, was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. Treatment for this cancer will consist of chemotherapy that will leave him unable to care for his family for the next 6 months. Our release party of the Double Maduro cigar, officially named the Azteca, will be used as a benefit to provide some relief to the family.
Casa Fuma is raffling off a one-of-a-kind custom-designed humidor autographed by George Rico. Tickets are $10 and available at Casa Fuma Fine Cigars. Proceeds from the raffle sale will go to the Francis family.
