What's a Habano wrapper?

xmacro

When looking through cigar websites, I'm used to seeing 2 types - Natural, and Maduro. But when looking at Cigar.com, they have Habano and Maduro. So what is Habano wrapper?---thanks for any help

So here: ----http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?brand=89 ---- (<----Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur)---- Are the cigars at the top Natural wrappers or something else? I want to order some, but I keep hesitating because I'm not sure if I'll get what I think I'm getting

Yes, the Habano is the natural wrapper.

maybe someone just wants another habano sampler...I thinks that's what happened after the other one. C.com hit us with another great deal.

So what's the difference between a Habano wrapper and Conneticut Shade? If a cigar has a 'natural' wrapper, which one does that imply?

Natural can be anything that is not maduro or candela. I have even seen Cameroon cigars listed as natural. Connecticut shade is from the US whether it is grown here or not. It is from the connecticut seed. Habano is, well something different.

ok, so oddly enough, I found the answer in the Cigar.com catalog that came with my order - - - - - "Natural" can be any of the following 3 - - - - Conneticut Shade (a very nice, mild wrapper) - - - Cameroon (a nice, sweet tasting wrapper) - - - or Habano (a 'spicy' tasting wrapper) - - - - - - - -- - Apparantly, 'Natural' can be any of those 3; contrast that with a "Maduro" which is, well, Maduro
