GH GRAND RESERVA #5 2010 LE CORONA GORDA 5 5/8 X 46

The Gran Habano Gran Reserva #5 2010 Corona Gorda is one of the more refined vitolas in the entire Gran Reserva vintage series, and it sits in that sweet spot where you get full strength but with added aging smoothness.

Overview

• Brand: Gran Habano
• Line: Gran Reserva No. 5 2010
• Vitola: Corona Gorda
• Size: 5 5/8 x 46
• Origin: Honduras (GR Tabacaleras Unidas factory)
• Strength: Full-bodied
• Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo (aged vintage leaf)
• Filler: Aged Nicaraguan tobaccos (7 to 8 years)  

This line is known for using vintage-aged tobaccos and limited production runs, with only a small number of boxes made per size.

Flavor profile

This Corona Gorda format tends to concentrate flavor more than the larger ring gauges, giving you:

• Espresso and dark roast coffee
• Earth and dry wood
• Black pepper spice up front
• Cocoa and subtle sweetness underneath
• A slightly creamy, aged finish as it progresses  

Because it’s a thinner ring gauge (46), the spice and structure come through more clearly compared to the Imperiales or Grandioso sizes.

Smoking experience

• Body: full
• Strength: bold but smoother due to aging
• Burn time: about 1 to 1.5 hours
• Draw: typically firm but very flavorful
• Profile evolution: starts spicy, then settles into espresso, cocoa, and earthy richness

What makes it special

• Uses well-aged vintage tobaccos (7–8 years) for added smoothness
• Limited production (small batch per vitola)
• Corona Gorda format gives the most balanced flavor intensity vs strength in the line
• Considered one of the more “focused flavor” versions of the No. 5 2010 release

Bottom line

The Corona Gorda 2010 is the best choice in the Gran Reserva No. 5 line if you want:

• Maximum flavor clarity
• Strong but controlled body
• A shorter, more concentrated smoking experience compared to the big 60+ ring gauges
