The Gran Reserva Cañones (spelled "Canones" here for the URL) is the big boy of the line: a towering eight-and-a-half-inch cigar with a 52 ring gauge, wrapped in the classic natural Cameroon leaf. It's made for a long, unhurried sit.

What it tastes like

The familiar Gran Reserva profile — cedar, toasted nuts, coffee, and cream with a sweet-spice edge — gets stretched out over a two-hour-plus smoke. It stays smooth and medium-bodied the whole way, and the extra length lets the flavors slowly deepen as you go. Despite the imposing size, it's never a chore.

Who it's for

A cigar for aficionados and anyone who genuinely enjoys spending a long afternoon or evening with a smoke. The size makes it more of an occasion than a daily habit. Pair it with an aged rum or cognac and settle in with good company.

If two hours is too much, the Churchill and Flor Fina 8-5-8 are the same blend in friendlier sizes. A cigar this long needs good storage too — see how to store cigars. Mark the occasion in the Casa DNC app.
