The perfect leaf for each purpose.

Every leaf in a Habano is native Cuban Black Tobacco directly descended from the plants that Columbus first discovered here more than five hundred years ago. Two distinct forms of cultivation produce the different types of leaf required. Wrapper leaves are grown in tapado fields covered from end to end by muslin cloth. Filler and binder leaves are grown in the open, enjoying the full benefit of the Cuban sun. In each case the leaves have different characteristics at different levels of the plant, and each leaf is classified accordingly. Each leaf has its own destiny.
