The newest release from Gran Habano cigars is one that’s been years in the making. The George Rico El Enemigo, released under the G.A.R. brand, will be released this April.
George Rico El Enemigo is handcrafted at TabaDom Factory in the Dominican Republic and will be available in 20-count boxes in three sizes: El Insulto (5 x 52), El Duelo (6 x 54), and El Triunfo (6 x 60). The cigar features a Habano wrapper and binder from Ecuador, an Ecuadoran binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Colombia. It is described as being a medium to full-bodied smoke. This cigar will be exclusive to those retailers that are part of the 20th Aniversario ultra-premium account program that currently consists of 200 retailers nationwide.
In a press release, Gran Habano owner George Rico issued the following statement:
“After many years of creating projects at my Gran Habano factory, I have decided to enter my Rōnin stage in my blending journey. I hope to continue to learn from others and elevate my craft of blending cigars. This process has led me to my first project “El Enemigo” outside of my factory at one of the most established cigar factories in the Dominican Republic. I am truly in love with the final blend. It is something totally different than what I have smoked from the factory and gives a completely different perspective on how the same tobaccos can smoke when blended differently. I look forward to more collaborations in the years to come and I hope that you can enjoy my blend utilizing unique tobaccos and rolling techniques.”
Only 1,000 boxes of each size will be released for the first year. In years following, these cigars will be available in limited production quantities.
