This cigar is like your hot friend you bring to all the parties.
The Gran Habano Vintage 2002 is Gran Habanos Corojo#5 cigar with a wrapper aged since 2002.
The cigar comes wrapped in a classy cedar covering with the word "Vintage" emblazoned on it. In addition to the cedar this cigar sports the intricate gold, red, and white Gran Habano band which really sets it off.
Not only does the cigar dress in nice clothes, but when you take off all of the accessories you are left with a gorgeous oily wrapper that hints at the pleasures to follow.
In order to get the best burn out of the cigar, light it slowly. It's like foreplay, if you don't rush it you will reap the benefits later.
The cigar is not complex. In fact the only main tastes are spice, the flavorful nicaraguan tobacco, and a little bit of sweetness. Even though it isn't complex, the cigar is anything but boring in that each of the flavors are very tasty, as well as full.
In addition, this cigar produces more smoke than pretty much every cigar I have smoked. After every exhale you see the volume of smoke and can't help but feel satisfied.
And the best part about this cigar? You can have her for 2 bucks. American. USD. 2 dollars.
This is a cigar that can be given to someone, and they will think it's an expensive stick because of the cedar. And even if they know cigars, they would be impressed by how good it smokes.
In summary: Gorgeous, expensive looking, tasty, lots of smoke, and CHEAP.
This is a terrific cigar, just as described by Danno. I don't enjoy spicy cigars, but this one had a real nice balance which made it very enjoyable. Lots of smoke, even burn, and beautiful to look out, the Gran Habano is the best cheap cigar in the market and compares favorably to cigars that cost 4 times as much.--Mamey

I thought it was important to update this post. The GHV 2002 is still a terrific cigar. I have smoked several of them in the last 5 months. The GH Cabinet Selection is an all-world Honduran cigar but, unfortunately, they are no longer being made by the Ricos. The verdict on the GH Corojo #5 is a mixed bag. I have tried the Lancero, which draws and burns well, but is harsh, one-dimensional, and almost unsmokeable. I've been told that it is much better in the larger ring gauges, but I'm not going to spend good money on it. So, unless someone gives me a freebie, it will not touch my lips again.
