Gran Habano Ships Corojo #5 Grandioso
Gran Habano has expanded its popular Corojo #5 line with a new size that is now arriving at retail, the 7 x 70 Grandioso, while the entire line is getting an update as far as its packaging and presentation.
Billed as the fullest bodied cigar in the Gran Habano portfolio, the Corojo #5 uses Nicaraguan corojo tobacco for both the wrapper and binder, with the filler coming from Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The new size becomes the 11th in the line and is the biggest to date, with the 4 1/2 x 40 Lunch Break vitola the smallest.
As part of an overhaul of several lines, Gran Habano is freshening up the Corojo #5’s presentation, going to footbands as well as featuring the year of production on the box. The company has also announced changes to the G.A.R. Red and Gran Reserva #5 2011 lines, while confirming that it won’t be increasing prices to any of its lines this year.
The new size comes with an MSRP of $8.86 per stick, before taxes, with a 20-count box costing $177.20.
Gran Habano recently announced that its S.T.K. ZULU ZULU Mas Paz Edition has begun shipping.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
