Description

For the manufacturing of this Gran Reserva, all the leaves that make up the Habano (capa, capote and tripa -wrapper, binder and filler-) have undergone a long and careful ageing process of five years. This is a unique and exclusive production of 5,000 numbered boxes, which showcase the supreme excellence of the brand and which will no doubt be extremely well received by Habanos enthusiasts.

This new Gran Reserva Cosecha 2009 provides yet another example of the unique stature of Habanos as a Protected Appellation of Origin. To make this Romeo y Julieta Gran Reserva, the best tobacco leaves were selected from the 2009 harvest in Vuelta Abajo * (Pinar del Río), Cuba.

Wide Churchills, with their unique dimensions among standard Habanos vitolas , are particularly attractive to smokers who enjoy thick ring gauge Habanos with a balanced and aromatic blend.

They are Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga -Totally Handmade with Long Filler- using leaves selected by expert blenders and are assessed by more than 50 expert tasters in joint tastings organized by the Instituto del Tabaco -Tobacco Institute-. These tasters include members of the Comisión Nacional de Degustación (National Tasting Commission) from the most prestigious factories in Cuba, as well as experts from Cuban industry and Habanos s.a.
