  USA Connecticut Habano

Rich with hearty flavor, Connecticut Habano perfectly mixes the smoothness of Connecticut with the complex spice found in traditional Habano wrappers.

The Northern State of Alagoas hosts a production around the city of Arapiraca where maduro wrappers are grown. The Southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina produce tobacco for cigarettes and pipe.
