Gran Habano announced the new Corojo No. 7 a year ago, and after a couple of delays, the highly anticipated new line made its way to stores this year. The Corojo No. 7 is a powerhouse of a smoke that still manages to toe the line of balance between flavor and strength perfectly.
The cigar starts immediately in high gear, with an array of flavors: earth, leather, black pepper, and hazelnut. There is also a perceptible sweetness present in the background. The flavor profile grows further with the addition of cocoa and coffee. Balsamic aromas come through towards the end, and the finale is spicy.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
