I don’t ever see these locally… Have read interviews with him, but have never even thought about finding these. Guess I need to make a small purchase and try a few.

In reply to Tony Casas.

LOL – bastard. I had MAJOR problems with mine. Heck the 2nd one literally blew up within the first 2.5 inches 🙁

I hate putting reviews up like that but I try to point out the good and bad.

I will still love the Gran Reserva #3 Gran Robusto – went through boxes of them!

I was actually the one asking Joe if he had the GH Connie’s but he was out of stock 🙁
Also, I came down with some crappy cold/sore throat so I may not make it out tonight, we’ll see how I feel.

In reply to Tony Casas. I knew I shouldn't trust him LOL! Nah, he's a great guy, but of course, we don't agree on everything.

In reply to Dalamscius. Hey Daniel, Joe from Bondele Cigars was just mentioning that on Friday at the last herf night we had. If we make to his Christmas party we can sample GH connecticut with all the other aficionados. Love the GH corojo!!!

In reply to Jake. I just think people overlook Gran Habano far too often. They make some great sticks..

In reply to jjo. I had a few of these and all the construction was dead on. Mike's full of it.! haha kidding. Maybe I just got lucky? These were great man, I am a fan of the white GARS as well.

In reply to czerbe. Tony and I were actually talking about how we seem to overlook a lot of GH cigars too, but everytime we do smoke one we seem to really enjoy them. I'm definitely going to make a mental note to grab more next time I place an order! Hopefully you can track some down too, they make a tasty connecticut too!

I loves me some Gran Habano’s. Matter-of-fact, I just got a bundle of Azteca Fuerte’s from the mail lady this afternoon. Great review, killer shots. Keep it up.

I agree 100% Tony. I’m a big fan of the Gran Habano corojo#5. Always great construction and consistent flavs box to box. I’m looking forward to trying this Opium!!

What else can I say, another great review, eh!

Nice review. Seems like your experience was different than @knightrid’s, as he had issues with consistency of construction. Sounds good though, so I may have to find one and try it for myself, since I like the white label G.A.R. and the Azteca. That’s an odd choice of a name, though, especially when the Feds are trying to crack down on smoking. :p

That sounds like a good warm weather beer. I’ll have to keep it in mind.

Merry Christmas to all!
