GEORGE RICO

George Rico is no stranger in the cigar industry. He gained an incredible amount of experience from working with his father, Guillermo, on Gran Habano cigars. His family owns a small factory in Danli, Honduras, where George has helped develop many blends, including the highly rated 3 Siglos series. George A. Rico is the fourth generation from a tobacco family that dates back to 1920 Cuba, when his grandfather began growing dark tobacco. George’s father, Guillermo, who recalls following his father through the fields as a child, while his mother rolled cigars in their home, took over the business in 1946. You’ll find that a lot of cigar businesses stay in the family. Family is everything, and cigars hold us up to the same standard. ...Read More

GAR Red By George Rico 7x70

Tremendous Cigar

I am a pimp for 70 and 80 gauge cigars and am a fan of he Asylum and JFR jumbos. This stogie, at $6-7 is attractive since a lot of the bigger stuff sells Northward of $12.

Asylum's 7 x 70 Schizo is a little less expensive but is a good point of comparison. That cigar being very nice.

This cigar is much more than an inexpensive way to monster cigars. It is rated as smooth to medium, and as one who prefers the suave sticks I must say this has robust, flavored smoke, and while it is devoid of harsh pepperiness in the wrapper taste, the smoke is packed. If you like stronger cigars, even though this is mild, it will surprise you with flavors.

It smoked like a mature, well-aged cigar in that it did not have a strong beginning other than maybe the first few draws. It is amazingly consistent from beginning to end and really did not exhibit any stages that I could detect.

nice draw, even burn, stayed wrapped nicely.

This gets 5 stars from me. As well as Mike's Cigars.....Top notch cigar vendor.
