El Rico Habano Corona Suprema

The El Rico Habano by La Gloria Habano is the lesser known, but even fuller-flavored, stronger blend made by Ernesto Carillo of La Gloria Cubana fame. Made in Santiago, Dominican Republic, this line of cigars is among the most robust premiums on the market and closely resembles the best Cuban-made beauties in appearance and flavor. The secret is the full-bodied blend of Nicaraguan long-leaf fillers and binder. The Corona Suprema is wrapped in a Connecticut grown, reddish-brown, Colorado-hued wrapper, which helps provide this smoke with its full, yet surprisingly smooth, flavor. The draw is super smooth. Expect rich, earthy, spicy flavors with hints of leather and wood. This wonderful smoke was rated an '89' by Cigar Aficionado's Insider newsletter. We think you'll enjoy it immensely but suggest indulging in a good meal before sitting down with this one. Pair it with a serious Barley wine such as the Stone Brewing Company's Old Guardian Barley Wine, Great Divide B.C.'s Old Ruffian or Victory B.C.'s Old Horizontal. Great wines in their own right, but when enjoyed with a cigar of this caliber, they're even better. Salut!
