Liga Privada T52's - Odd smell?

Habano isn't a type of tobacco per se, it just means that the specific variety of tobacco can be traced back to Cuba. For example, Corojo, Criollo, Pelo de Oro, these are all examples of "Habano". On the other side, Connecticut is not a habano as it has no origins there, same with Sumatra which originated in Indonesia, or Cameroon (Africa). You get the idea.

Hmm.. My bad; everywhere I've seen listed it as a Habano or American Habano wrapper.

Habano wrapper/shade” is used in the non-Cuban industry to describe cigars that are Colorado or Colorado Maduro

It is a habano, it's just that "habano" isn't a specific variety of tobacco. It's any tobacco of Cuban ancestry, and in this case, it's just being grown here - hence "American Habano"

You weren't wrong, I was just trying to clear up something that is oft misunderstood due to the use of simplified descriptions for marketing purposes.

I can't think of any cigar manufacturer or vendor who uses "Habano" as a color description. I suspect whomever published that might have jumped to conclusions regarding the most commonly seen shades of these tobaccos of Cuban descent and mistakenly thought that the term was associated with the shade.
