Yes that is also a hybrid from what information I have. So far Padilla and Los Nietos Cigars "Luca Del Toro" is what cigars use a hybrid wrapper.
I have not smoked the Padilla Hybrid it uses Cuban-seed and Connecticut-seed tobaccos. But I have smoked the Los Nietos Cigars "Luca Del Toro" . It uses a Nicaraguan Habano 99 Hybrid wrapper.
Thought this would be a good topic to discuss since not many cigars use a hybrid wrapper. And my go to smoke is Los Nietos Cigars "Luca Del Toro" .. And I can smoke any cigar I want since I work in a shop but I keep going back to the Luca Del Toro .. The flavor is just different then any other honduran cigar I have ever smoked.

Yeah, I smoked one, its kinda cool to actually taste the difference in the wrapper as it goes from natural to maduro, back to light, then back to maduro again

Most tobacco out there is a hybrid of one type or another. Is there a specific wrapper you are seeking?:confused:

Very true, Just looking for what other cigars are using the Hybrid wrappers on the market.

You will be hard pressed to find a wrapper that is not a hybrid. Seeds are moved from country to country and then hybridized with local tobacco which is more suited to the climatic conditions and pest resistant.

Wasn't the old H2000 a popular hybrid leaf that was/is commonly used as a wrapper?

I personally enjoy them. For the price you can get them in bundles now (stopped doing boxes I guess) they are a solid smoke I would say. But then again I tend to smoke them when I'm writing papers or doing homework and don't really focus on the cigar as much
