Most are made totally by hand using Cuban methods that were first used in Havana almost two centuries ago.<\/p>\n<p>Nowhere in the world is tobacco grown that is better than Cuba&rsquo;s. But even here, only certain lands, known as vegas, are considered fit for growing the tobacco used to make a Habano. These are first-class vegas that are characterized by the exceptional quality of their soil, their microclimates, and the superior skills involved in the crop&rsquo;s cultivation.<\/p>\n<p>Like any high-quality product, Habanos are divided into different categories. The most important one is related to their strength, and there are five classifications: mild, mild to medium, medium, medium to strong, and strong.<\/p>\n<p>Some people erroneously think that a Habano&rsquo;s strength is related to its size. This is untrue, because it is the brand that is adjusted to a pattern of unique and distinctive strength. When one buys a Habano it is important to know about this, because it guides the buyer in choosing the potency of the Habano that he or she intends to smoke.<\/p>\n<p>Each one of these brands has a set of different calibers (thin, medium and thick), which do not vary in strength.<\/p>\n<p>When you a buy a Habano, this is an important fact to know. If you want to buy a box as a gift, you need to know whether the recipient is a beginning, occasional or knowledgeable smoker. The notion of strength, then, plays a fundamental role, because it allows the Habano to be better adjusted to the characteristics of its smoker.<\/p>\n<p>The elegance and quality of any Habano brand makes it possible for it to be highly appreciated by anybody who understands refinement. Giving a gift of this category is always considered as a gourmet gesture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Habano is a leading product on the world market, with an exclusive flavor that comes from the nature of the soil where its tobacco is grown and from our island&rsquo;s climate, along with the knowledge and experience of Cuba&rsquo;s tobacco growers.<\/p>\n<p>The Habano represents a designation of origin reserved for a selection of the most prominent brands of cigars, which are made following the strictest guidelines.
