Habana Leon is a brand of cigar.

History

The brand was created by José "Pepin" Garcia and is manufactured at the El Rey de los Habanos factory in the Little Havana section of Miami, Florida.

One of Cuba's great baseball teams was the Club Habana team who played as the Habana Leones (Havana Lions). They were nicknamed los Rojos ("The Reds"), which was the team color. This brand commemorates and celebrates this great Cuban baseball team, and the color theme is carried over to the cigar band, which is red with gold lettering. The brand consists of a single range of seven vitolas.

Description

This is a full-bodied cigar. The filler is 70% Nicaraguan ligero, with a Nicaraguan wrapper and a Nicaraguan-grown Corojo wrapper from the crop of 2000.
