Gran Habano Vintage 2002 Cigar Review
Gran Habano Vintage 2002 Cigar Review This 5×50 dark brown oily wrapped cigar features minimal veins, a slick firm pack, invisible tight seams and a rich tobacco aroma. As I toast this up I talk a little about what ‘vintage tobacco’ means. First light reveals a very mild airy smoke with an earthy draw flavor and woody aftertaste with a great draw. The first third quickly develops to a mild-medium creamy smooth woody taste on the draw with a slightly bitter but oily wood finish. The 1/2 way point comes fairly quickly 25 minutes in, only adding a slight sweetness tot he draw flavors. Ending at 45 minutes, the last third shifts just slightly, bringling a touch of licorice to what was just a general sweetness. Thank you to fan Megladon8 for supplying this sample fro review, I really appreciate it brother!

I called a tobacco store in New York and they said they have Padron’s that are like $53. I just wanted to ask you: If you had to take a educated guess how long do you think those $53 Padron’s have been aging? Because that’s a lot of money, I mean I just bought my first $20+ cigar (an ashton estate sun grown 22 year salute that only comes out once a year) and I’ve been smoking for over two years (pipes and cigars and hookahs) thanks
I have no idea without knowing exactly which Padron it might be – you might be paying a lot over MSRP too.
I liked what you said about aged tobacco. I foung it very interesting.
Great information as always!
Cheers,
Kevin
Great video Bryan, thanks for talking about the ageing process.
Given the current tax rate in New York (75%) — my guess would be this would be a Padron 80th, 45th, or 46th. Something with an MSRP of 25 - 30 in most states, then boosted up to over 50 in NY.
@SmokingEssy7887 a little google-fu found these for $40 for a box of 20. Did you think the price was for a single stick? Or was it for a different Padron?
@eldersprig I can’t remember the name of the padron but all know is the guy said they have Padrons and zino platium crown series for over $50
flordia is the cheapest place to get cigars. here in So. Cali cigar stores will charge double the price i get ordering online from tampa flordia. example an opus x would cost me 25-35 depending on the size but i get it for 13-20 so.
Hey you got new torch….
i love smoking wit ya dude
Once again, great review! I was curious though … with cigars that have mediocre filler and binder, but good wrapper (there are a few out there), do you think going with smaller ring gauges would deliver more flavor? I would be interested to see a side-by-side review for something like that (same blend, different sizes). I’m not sure if the Gran Habano Vintage comes in anything smaller than 50, but others might
@saifj Thanks! Yes it does often make a difference. Look on the site, I do have several lines where I have reviews of multiple sizes so you can see the exact differences.
Hey Brian. I appreciate your videos and the extra information that you have added to your reviews. Keep up the good work!
This guys reviews have little credibility with me. Drew Estates mainstay is flavored cigars and he didn’t know the Drew Estate Isla Del Sol was a flavored cigar & then said tip tasted like cherry. Cherry?…not even close! Now he says this cigar is mild. Must have sinus problems because his taste buds are wack.
