Habano Cigars
A Habano cigar is a cigar with a wrapper made from Cuban-seed tobacco, known for its rich, robust, and spicy flavor profile that may also include notes of coffee, cedar, and chocolate.
While the term originated in Cuba, Habano wrappers are now successfully grown and used in other regions like Nicaragua and Ecuador, which have similar soil and climate conditions. These cigars are a popular choice for those who prefer a more complex and intense smoking experience.
