G.H. and Guillermo Rico: Cigars in Family Hands
The cigars of the brand are sold under the name G.H. Behind this boutique label stands Guillermo Rico. Guillermo is not solely responsible for the cigars' success. His family, now active in the tobacco industry for four generations, also plays a crucial role. The Ricos’ Colombian ancestors were already cultivating tobacco and rolling cigars.
From Trader to Producer
Guillermo Rico began his career as a trader, supplying raw tobacco to the United States. As exports flourished, he decided to produce cigars himself—focusing on quality over quantity. From cultivating the plants to fermentation and hand-rolling, everything is done in-house. Even the boxes are lacquered at the factory in Honduras.
Name Confusion: G.H., Gran Honduras, or Guillermo Rico?
In U.S. tobacco shops, you likely won’t find cigars under the brand names “G.H.,” “Gran Honduras,” or “Guillermo Rico.” Cigars are often marketed in connection with Cuba, since original Cuban brands are not protected by trademark laws in the United States.
The cigars discussed here follow that trend as well, bearing a name that evokes the Cuban capital: Gran Ha.... Due to stricter regulations in Europe, we are legally prohibited from using geographic indications if the product does not originate from that region. Simply put: If it says Cuba, it must be from Cuba.
All G.H. Cigars at a Glance
The G.H. portfolio includes numerous lines and cigars, which can sometimes be a bit confusing. Here’s a brief overview:

The G.H. Connecticut No. 1 cigars stand out for their light, silky wrapper and mild, creamy taste. Perfect for beginners and those who appreciate a gentle smoking experience.
G.H. Criollo No. 3
Fans of medium-bodied and aromatic cigars will find what they’re looking for with the G.H. Criollo No. 3. These cigars are known for their balanced blend and spicy-sweet flavor.
G.H. Corojo No. 5
