Habano

Papeleta. Habanos 1834 Archivo Nacional de Cuba

The Habano or Havana cigar is one of the few things that is known without question to be the best of their kind. Other places may have acquired Cuban skills and even Cuban seed but never have the nature of Cuba: soil and the climate.

Cuban tobacco: the extraordinary labour that the Cuban farmer/vegueros invests in his crops, patiently waiting before his leaf is deemed fit for a Habano.

Most cigars using hand made method are pioneered in Havana since two centuries ago to this day.

A further distinction lies in the definition of the term Habanos. All Habanos are Cuban but by no means all Cuban cigars are Habanos.
