Quick Smoke: Gran Habano Persian King Rajah

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

The unbanded Persian King from Gran Habano features a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper with a band of Connecticut wrapper near the foot. The binder and filler are Nicaraguan. The toro-sized Rajah sells for under $6 and features a silky floral sweetness, especially while the Connecticut wrapper is being combusted, combined with roasted and creamy notes. Enjoyable medium-bodied flavors, good combustion, and a reasonable price earn it a recommendation.

Verdict = Buy.
