First time I ever heard of it was when Richard (tzaddi) sent the seed. This makes twice.

The wrapper is real flavorful. The first time i ever tried it was back in 99. I was sent a coupon for a free Cabanas y carbajal. Whats interesting is a friend of mine had just returned from Canada and brought back a Cuban Partagas it was corona size in a tube. That cabanas tasted almost like that cuban did.

Now I noticed that the Indian tabac super fuerte has a wrapper similar to that. they are calling it a maduro from Nic. but it has that reddish brown color the H2000 wrapper had. CI has them for 55.00. I think I am going to give them a try

I have a ton of the Tabac Super Fuerte's. They're an excellent smoke.
The IT Maduros are a dyed wrapper. They bleed all over my face and fingers, but they're still a decent cigar, especially for the price.
They seem to have a similar wrapper to the Fuerte. I'll have to take a look at them. Thank You!!!

Savinelli Special Selection has that wrapper. I think ir does.

Is a Habano wrapper the same as a Habana 2000?

So far as I know, "Habano wrapper" in the NC world either speaks of it's shade (it's a reddish maduro) or that it's grown from cuban seed. So yes, in some instance, it could mean it's from Havanah 2000 seed.
I don't think it's at all a direct connection like I think you're thinking, cause a "Habano wrapper" could be from any other kind of cuban seed, too.
In my personal experience, I've enjoyed Habano wrappers. They are lighter than maduros, but have almost as much sweetness, but seem to have a little bit spicier finish. They're good. It's pretty much as light as I'll go so far as wrapper is concerned. I usually stick with maduros and oscuros. I do enjoy some Habanos and Corojos. I have no idea what a Corojo is, but I find them about the same color as a Habano, a little less sweet, and usually spicy as well. I really can't tell an appreciable difference between corojo's and habano's.
IIRC, they used to use a lot of corojo in cc's. It was from Criollo tobacco seed. Now they use a lot more Habana 2000 and Criollo Especial seed.

I sure rambled a long way in a short time there, didn't I?
