Gran Habano Slates Corojo No. 7 for January 2024 Release
While many cigar companies are focusing on the new cigars they will be releasing at next month’s PCA Convention & Trade Show, Gran Habano has announced the Corojo #7 as a new limited edition cigar that it is planning to release in January 2024.
The line is a Nicaraguan puro that uses corojo-seed tobacco from the Jalapa region for the wrapper, while the binder and filler are also corojo-seed tobacco. The company calls it a stronger and bolder blend than its Corojo #5, which it has previously described as the strongest cigar in its portfolio. The Corojo No. 7 is made at Gran Habano’s G.R. Tabacaleras Unidas S.A.factory in Honduras and will be offered in a 6 x 54 toro size for its launch, which will be presented in 10-count leather cases. Additionally, the first 1,000 boxes sold will come with a branded lighter as well.
It will join the El Enemigo and XX Aniversario as Ultra-Premium releases in the company’s portfolio.
“We are thrilled to finally release the Corojo #7 blend to our loyal customers and cigar enthusiasts around the world,” said George Rico, president of Gran Habano Cigars, via a press release. “This blend has been a labor of love, and we are confident that it will exceed expectations.”
Rico noted that due to a limited supply of tobacco leaves, the company is only able to produce about 16,000 cigars per year, all of which will be in the 6 x 54 toro size. The company is officially planning to release 1,000 of the 10-count leather cases for the debut, with the remaining cigars used for in-store events. A spokesperson for the company said that two more sizes, a 5 x 52 robusto and a 6 x 60 Imperial, are being considered for possible release in the future. If those sizes are released, they would be offered in 20-count boxes.
Pricing for the Gran Habano Corojo No. 7 has not yet been announced. And while the cigar will not be on display at next month’s PCA Convention & Trade Show, the company wanted to get the word out ahead of the show, as it will only be offered to Gran Habano’s ultra-premium accounts.

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 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.
