Habano 2000-

is the result of crossing Corojo, a variety of Cuban dark tobacco, with Habano 2.1.1, a non-commercial Cuban tobacco variant. When grown under direct sunlight, it typically reaches a height of around six feet and has an average leaf count between 14 and 16 per plant. In particularly fertile soils, this number can increase to as many as 18 leaves per plant. Sun-grown plants are commonly used as binders or fillers in cigar production within various different cigar blends depending on their particular aroma profile. On the other hand, when cultivated under shade cloths, Habano 2000 is highly sought after for its exceptional qualities as a wrapper leaf.  whilst those specimens which were grown beneath shade cloths have proven themselves indispensable due to their top-notch quality standards when it comes down to serving duty solely for wrapping purposes

Connecticut Broadleaf-

is known for its production of high-quality cigar wrappers, as it grows large leaves that are perfect for this purpose. The lower grade leaves from the same plant are utilized as filler, blending, and binder leaves in cigars. These leaves have an average width of thirteen inches and a length of twenty-six inches. They are characterized by their broadness, strength, thinness, elasticity, silkiness, and small fibers. Additionally, they possess a slightly sweet taste and cure to a light color during the drying process. 

Connecticut Shade-

is renowned for its ability to produce top-quality cigar wrappers. This leaf thrives and yields the best results when cultivated in shaded areas. Growing up to a height of over 9 feet, it develops 26-28 leaves that are remarkably consistent and exhibit minimal suckering. These light green leaves measure around 12" x 18", gradually transitioning to a mottled yellow hue as they mature. When grown in shade, the resulting leaves possess superior qualities compared to those cultivated under direct sunlight. They become finer, larger, and more pliable, making them ideal for crafting some of the finest cigar wrappers available. Historically, 'Connecticut Shade' was traditionally grown beneath trees and utilized not only as binder tobacco for cigars but also as filler material and wrapper components. This versatile leaf played a significant role in the production of cigars throughout its history.
