Have a Habano, and weigh in on its impact

Monday, December 20, 2010 by Trevor Billingsley
Many consider the Habano wrapper the closest thing to the experience of a genuine Cuban cigar, and their proponents often refuse to consider anything else as being worthy of their palate. If you're one of those people, or you know someone who is, the Habano Heavyweights Sampler was made with you in mind.Habano Heavyweights Sampler

This comes with 15 cigars, three each from Alec Bradley, Gran Habano, Oliva Cain, Padilla and Pinar del Rio. As you may have guessed from the name, all these cigars have the Habano wrapper topping off the premium filler tobacco and expert craftsmanship.

Habano wrappers are more of a way of curing the tobacco leaf rather than any specific type. These are all fermented in the traditional Cuban manner, for something that its adherents believe is a depth and complexity of flavor that can't be matched by other.

Of course, there are two sides to this debate. There are other folks (Maduro fans seem to be particularly loud) who insist that the Habano wrapper is more sizzle than substance and that others offer a better smoking experience.

There's just one way around this, and that's to decide for yourself. The Habano Heavyweights Sampler is 15 of the best cigars of this style, so if you like these you can safely consider yourself a Habano fan. And if you don't, you can always weigh in to that effect on any of the prominent forums out there.
