I'd be way more happy had you said you have Corojo wrapper (pre-1998) on hand, the switch in 1998 from Corojo to Habano is what made me (and a good number of others) turn away from Cuban cigars. Interesting that Camacho picked up the ball in 1998 and went with it, the rest, as the saying goes, is history.
If you ask Cuba ex-pats what wrapper they'd use if embargo is lifted, it is that old time Corojo wrapper and sometimes Criollo, not the new Habano. Playing for safety and larger yields (Habano) was the wrong move by Cuba. Again, just my opinion, and I have yet to find one Habano wrapped cigar that says to me I should buy a box or more of.
