Default Re: What does "Habana" mean?

Just to add to what has been said.............

In the cigar world, Habana is short for La Habana, the full name of the capital of Cuba and my birthplace, whose actual full name was initially San Cristobal de La Habana.

In English, it is written as just "Havana".

To place it on a cigar band is generally to represent some sort of affiliation/origin with that city/country. On cigar bands, generally means they are Cuban.
On other non Cuban products, generally means they have some origin to the country, such as cigars of Cuban seeds, grown elsewhere or cigars manufactured by individuals of Cuban origin.
