What is this product?
The Gran Habano Corojo #5 Gran Reserva 2012 Corona Gorda is a full-bodied premium cigar rolled in the classic 5 ⅝" × 46 Corona Gorda format. This heavily aged expression showcases tobacco selected from the top 10% of Gran Habano's finest harvest leaves, aged for approximately 7 to 8 years before rolling, then given an additional 6 years of post-roll maturation. The blend features a Nicaraguan wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and a Nicaraguan and Costa Rican filler, rolled at G.R. Tabacaleras Unidas S.A. in Honduras. Each cigar is presented in an individual cedar sleeve and packaged in 20-count boxes.
Why this product?
The Corona Gorda delivers a concentrated flavor profile built around earth, sweet wood, and espresso, with additional notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, black pepper, and hay. The narrower 46-ring gauge allows the Nicaraguan wrapper to play a prominent role, producing a focused and flavorful expression of the Gran Reserva 2012 blend. Despite its full-bodied character, years of maturation have rounded out the tobacco's natural intensity, creating a cigar that is bold and complex while remaining remarkably smooth.
This format may be one of the best ways to experience what extensive aging can do for premium tobacco. You're getting leaf selected from the top tier of the harvest, aged for years before rolling, then given another six years to marry and mellow. It's a classic size that delivers plenty of flavor without requiring the commitment of the larger ring gauges in the Gran Reserva collection.
Who can buy this product?
The Gran Habano Corojo #5 Gran Reserva 2012 Corona Gorda is for adult premium cigar enthusiasts, 21 and over, who appreciate the depth and complexity that come from heavily aged tobacco.

This is an excellent choice for special occasions, quiet evenings, or any time you want to savor a mature, richly flavored cigar with a classic vitola and a focused, refined character.

What Makes This Cigar Special?
Storage and Handling
Ideal Humidity Range
Store your cigars between 65% and 70% relative humidity for optimal flavor, burn consistency, and structure. This range prevents cracking, swelling, and uneven combustion.
Temperature Matters
Keep cigars between 65°F and 70°F (18°C–21°C). Excess heat can damage oils and increase the risk of tobacco beetles, while cold environments can affect burn performance.
Stability Over Perfection
Consistency is more important than hitting an exact number. Sudden humidity swings can damage wrappers and affect draw. A stable environment protects your investment.
Recommended: 2-Way Humidity Control
For effortless maintenance, we recommend Boveda 2-Way Humidity Packs (65% or 69%) to maintain consistent humidity with no refilling, no monitoring stress, and no over-humidifying.
