Gran Habano Unveils G.A.R. American Standard Cigar for September 2023 Release

Gran Habano is introducing a new product to their lineup, the G.A.R. American Standard, with an expected release in September 2023. Responding to a market demand for cost-effective options, the company is aiming to provide a balance between affordability and quality with this new release.

The G.A.R. American Standard is a Nicaraguan puro with a medium to full body. The flavor profile features dark chocolate with black pepper notes in the finish, a characteristic attributed to the brand’s creator, George Rico. It represents the company’s attempt to deliver a nuanced cigar experience at a more accessible price point.

The company’s production target for the G.A.R. American Standard is roughly 750,000 cigars annually, equating to about 15,000 boxes of 50. The cigar will be a regular production item.

The G.A.R. American Standard will be offered in multiple sizes:

  • Robusto 5 x 50 (MSRP $5.50)
  • Gran Robusto 6 x 54 (MSRP $6.00)
  • Imperial 6 x 60 (MSRP $6.40)
