Buying a Havana cigar: the other experience for traveling to Cuba

The light brown tabaco havana cigar is vastly different from the simple cigarette (cigar), it is essentially formed of tobacco and contains no trace of paper. While an average sized cigar can contain up to 200 mg of nicotine, this proportion is much lower for a cigarette, at 10 mg. Added to this is the power criterion which is expressed by the production method and the aromas in close connection with the terroir of the tobacco leaves.
The Havana cigar is strongly linked to its aesthetics, a light wrapper, dark or lighter in tone, enveloping the other layers well. The Havana cigar is made from natural tobacco leaves growing on Cuban soil.

What is a Havana and where does this cigar come from?

The word “havana” designates both the tobacco produced in the eastern part of the island of Cuba and the cigar made with this tobacco with its characteristic smell. The best Cuban Havana cigars come from the plains of Vuelta Abajo in the province of Pinar del Río (wrapper and tripe leaves). Luxury Cuban cigars were exported from 1817 from the port of Havana: the global preponderance of habanos is explained by the exclusive composition of tobacco of Cuban origin. The seeds are grown on the island, the Havana tobacco plantations are located at the western end.

The tobacco farms produce a Havana cigar according to their method and their aging technique:
- resting the wrapper leaves, outdoors or in greenhouses
- selection of tripe leaves, whole or crushed and mixed
- aging of the different leaves (cape, top and base).

Since the 17th century, factories (El Rey Del Mundo, Corona) have been located in Remedios, an agricultural area of the capital Havana.

A real traditional Havana cigar contains 5 tobacco leaves, one for the wrapper and another for the binder, the other three are mixed for the filler. The torcedor worker rolls the Havana cigar by hand after the successive stages of drying, humidification, stripping and selection

The true premium Havana cigar for export wears a band (invented in 1845 in Havana) is distinct from the veguero cigar produced locally by Cuban peasants. The best plants and harvests go to export brands, with the rest going to farmers who make rum and honey flavored cigars to mask lesser quality plants.

A Havana is a cigar for initiated smokers, however brands can be very suitable for beginners and moderately initiated:
- small module with a tasting of about twenty minutes (Cohiba Panetelas)
- mild robusto (Hoyo de San Juan or Cohiba)
- long, round and rich without being too full-bodied (Churchill from Romeo y Julieta).
