Description

The Gran Cañon is the largest format in HVC's Hot Cake line — a 6x60 gordo that gives the Mexican San Andrés-wrapped blend plenty of room to develop. Notes of wood, earth, and cocoa come in waves, with the large ring gauge keeping temperatures cool throughout a leisurely 75-minute smoke.
