Post CW First Look: Gran Habano STK Zulu Zulu

Touted as George Rico's personal blend for years, this new line's first size, Zulu Zulu is a limited production lancero with proceeds going to a charity that Rico supports.

I like several of the Gran Habanos lines, but I'll probably pass on this one. Although I understand the good that Rico is trying to do, I really hate the artwork on the boxes, and the price tag doesn't help either.

The MOW Puro Authentico is supposed to be a "personal blend," and it's a damn nice smoke.

I've only tried a couple Gran Habano lines. Been OK with both. On this Zulu Zulu line....what's with the punk ass Somali pirate looking box art?

Kudos to G.A.R. for passing some of the proceeds on for a good cause.

My friends and I were given one by George at his hospitality suite at ipcpr. He only had the Connecticut version. At first I declined after smoking cigars all day I didn't think I would be able to taste it. He told me to try as it has lots of flavor. 5 of us tried it and all agreed it was an excellent cigar. After smoking 5 or 6 cigars that day, I still enjoyed it very much.
