What makes it Habano?

[HumiDork]

I've noticed lately that I REALLY like anything that comes in a Habano. Esteban Carreras, Cain, Perdomo, RP, anything in a Habano just has that perfect spice and flavor that I'm looking for.

What makes a cigar a habano? I notice the Cain habano and Cain maduro have the same blend, but taste DRAMATICALLY different.

I know I could wikipedia this, but it's more fun to as y'all and see if you too have trends on aging, curing, fermentation, blending etc. that often make a cigar you're looking for.

Q: What are Habano seeds?

A: Habano seeds are a general classification of tobaccos more commonly known as Cuban seeds. Under the Habano name exists many varieties of specific types of tobaccos such as Corojo, Criollo, and H-2000. These seeds are all Cuban-seed tobaccos that were specially engineered to resist specific diseases or mold, produce thicker or bigger leaves, or create particular characteristics in flavor or color. You are probably familiar with cigars featuring Corojo wrappers or Criollo wrappers and how they maintain a semi-spicy characteristic. These can both be classified as Habano-seed wrappers and are simply a more specific name under the Habano flag due to their engineering. Even the best aficionados have a hard time differentiating between the various sub types of Habano seeds since most of this type of tobacco tastes almost identical to one other. In fact, Habano-seed tobacco varies in flavor by where it is grown versus its specific seed type, which is different from other types of tobacco.

Is that what you're asking about?

Most of the cigars Ive smoked or have seen advertised that they were Habanos seem to all have a Corojo wrapper which seems to add some pepper flavors to the smoke.Hope this helps,check the ones you like and see what kind of wrapper they have.
