Where does one procure this CT Habano of which you speak?

I don't think Havana and Habano are the same strain. Not going on agronomy knowledge but on first-hand perception.

This will be today's stick as soon as I finish my chores...

Well the CT is not the same as the Ecuadorian is not the same as the ... It differs a bunch country by country, too, as well as batch by batch. All's I can tell you, it worked out for this binder.

Again I could be wrong, but I think LO's "CT Havana" is something like Havana 142, which is more of a cigarette tobacco (though grown as cigar binder leaf), and not the same thing as USA CT Shade vs. Ec. CT Shade. More like CT Broadleaf vs. CT Shade.

The reason I remember this stuff is because there was a guy on here a year ago who'd been told by some LO salesman that if he wants a "Cuban profile," he should get LO's Havana. Which upon some study turned out to be nonsense because LO's Havana was a species of cigarette broadleaf used for binders....

Labor day rolling and smoke. Used WLT Ecuador Maduro wrapper that I had left from a blend kit I never used. Wasn't used to it and had a real hard time with tearing and keeping the veins lined up on the smaller ring gauge bunches.

Yum

Today's capping practice, 5 Cuban petit corona(42 * 5"). CT wrapper is better, but still far from satisfaction.

By "Cuban" I meant it's strictly a Cuban size. Because I've seen many NC called petit coronas actually have 40*5, 40*4.5 and so on.

Can you get Cuban leaf where you are? Maybe dumb question because I'm not sure it can be sent out of Cuba.

Oh, okay, thanks. Then I think you are missing an 1/8 of an inch there.
