I've never been a big fan of Gran Habano, but their recent offerings are just excellent IMHO. The Azteca is very distinct and a great change of pace. Also, I recently bought a box of the Gran Reserva #3 2008 robustos from Tower and they are just fantastic. Rich with sweet spice and earth, with some dried fruit notes. Good construction and a great value too.

I've only had one experience with Gran Habano, specifically the Azteca Puma and I enjoyed it thoroughly. First cigar and only time I experienced dark cherry flavor. When I acquire a larger humi I'd definitely make the trek (only seen it at one B&M in Toronto) and grab a 5er.

I used to love the 3 Siglos, but I've had a couple from a newer box and they just haven't been the same. Not nearly as rich in flavor. I wonder if they changed the blend.

The Vintage 2002 is a decent $2 smoke but I wouldn't pay much more than that.

I have a few of the 3 SLS in my humi, but I am going to give them a few months' rest before lighting one up. They're also ENORMOUS so they're reserved for days/nights when I have a couple of hours to burn.

I'm interested in trying the Azteca for sure.

Been a fan of GH for some time now. I love their 2002 Robustos. I havent tried the Aztecas but sounds like I need to get some.

Love Gran Habano. Azteca, SLS, 2002, Corojo #5, and lastly the Persian King (it's a shaggy- if you can find it...it's one of my personal favorites). All good/great smokes, even more so when you take price into consideration on most of them.

I always have some 2002's on hand. Its a great smoke to give your buddies that don't have their own humi's and only seem to smoke when you're around (you know the type). They don't break the bank and I don't feel like I'm giving them a dog rocket. I occasionally pull one out for myself when I know I don't have enough time to finish/enjoy a full cigar.

+1 here. They're not expensive and I routinely will bring one or two to the golf course to share with folks who don't usually smoke that may be in the foursome.

The Azteca line is the only one I truly love. The rest just taste like power and never really hit me the way I was hoping for. I used to smoke a lot of Gran Habanos due to price but had to stop that nonsense. I'm a fan of the Puma size, though (and it may be my lighter) I found that the wrapper burns a little unevenly at first.
