Re: Habanna 2000 Wrapper
In NC terms, Habano only referrs to Cuban seed source. The color shade has nothing to do with it. A "Habano" wrapper can be any shade really.
Corojo was an early hybrid tobacco, created in the 1940's as a new variety of tobacco that was bred to preserve the classic black tobacco characteristics but also produce large yeilds of high-grade wrapper leaf. It's a cross breed of Criollo and a Sumatra strain that has high wrapper yields. It takes it's name, "Corojo" from the farm where it was initially developed. While it does typically happen to be a reddish brown, it's not a color shade, and can be found in other shades.
