Gran Habano: Black Dahlia Corona Gorda Cigars

Gran Habano cigars are produced by the father-son team of Guillermo and George Rico in Danli, Honduras, maintaining a family legacy of tobacco that dates back to 1920. The pair's first factory was constructed in 1998, and the brand was officially established in 2001, maintaining a family-oriented structure and rooting itself in values of honesty and passion: values they channel into their blends alongside a healthy deal of originality. The Rico family owns not only their factory, but their own farms, and this lets them ensure the quality of every cigar they produce, maintaining strict standards across each of their blends for a superior smoke every time.

Though the Black Dahlia, also known as the S.T.K. Black Dahlia, was billed as one of Gran Habano's stronger blends when it was released in 2017, it presents with a complex and balanced medium-bodied flavor profile. Blend-wise, the Black Dahlia features a Nicaraguan Shadegrown Corojo wrapper over a dual binder of Nicaraguan Habano tobacco and fillers that include Nicaraguan Cubita and Habano tobacco alongside leaf from Costa Rica and Colombia. Remarkably accessible despite its rich melange of flavors, the Black Dahlia is graceful, subtle, and delightful.
