Honduran cigarmaker Gran Habano is adding a limited-edition brand to its core line called Corojo No. 7, which will be released annually in different sizes. For the inaugural release, the cigars were made in a Toro expected to ship in July.
Rolled in Honduras at Gran Habano’s G.R. Tabacaleras Unidas S.A. factory, the Corojo No. 7 measures 6 inches by 54 ring gauge and is blended to be a full-bodied smoke. Its binder and filler tobaccos are Nicaraguan Corojo. While Gran Habano did not disclose the wrapper’s origin, the company did state that it’s a hybrid varietal grown in a country not traditionally associated with tobacco.
Production is limited to 16,000 cigars, but Gran Habano is offering 1,000 green leather carrying cases that include 10 cigars and a matching lighter for $285. The remainder of the production will be released in boxes of 20. Each Gran Habano Corojo No. 7 Toro is priced at $15 apiece.
