Gran Habano is the Rico family’s brand, run by Guillermo Rico and his son George, whose tobacco roots stretch back four generations. The company grows and rolls its own, controlling production from farm to box at its factory in Danlí, Honduras, which opened in 1998; the Gran Habano brand itself debuted in 2003.
The lineup is anchored by three numbered blends that buyers know by heart: the mild, Connecticut-wrapped Number 1, the medium Habano Number 3, and the bold, full-bodied Corojo Number 5. Across the range, the Ricos aim for rich flavor and clean construction at approachable prices. Honest, consistent, and family-made, Gran Habano cigars are a value-minded smoker’s staple, with the Corojo Number 5 the pick for anyone who likes it strong.
