Online, August 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Emerson's Cigars has announced that, later this year, they will be unleashing the latest installment in the Gran Vida line, the Gran Vida Connecticut. Gran Vida is a collaboration with cigar rockstar, Rocky Patel, and is available in a Habano and Maduro blend

Gran Vida literally means "Great Life." That's a tall order for cigar legend Rocky Patel to fill. Luckily, Rocky has totally come through and if it's possible for a cigars to improve your quality of living (which we can all probably agree it does) than Gran Vida should be your new cigar of choice.

Emerson's Cigars was the FIRST cigar store in the world to receive the Gran Vida and since it's debut it's been flying off the shelves. The Gran Vida Maduro features a gorgeous Pennsylvania Maduro wrapper with a Honduran binder and fillers from the lush fields of Panama and Nicaragua. This masterpiece from Rocky Patel begins off with a hearty spice but finishes gently making it a medium to full bodied cigar. If you're looking for something with a little more meat, the Gran Vida Habano is completely full bodied. A Nicaraguan puro, the Habano has tons of flavor and is sure to be an instant classic for the cigar lover wanting that extra kick.
