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.
