This seems like a "cross out the common denominator" situation. You like earthy, dirty, and shitty, but not earthy, dirty, and harsh. = you like shitty, you don't like harsh. "I dig that chick: she's shitty, but she's not harsh."
That's a harsh thing to say.
Lol which part? Drunk college me dated a C+ gal before, but at least she wasn't harsh

How no dice? They've got three Ec. habano wrappers there. Is it that you specifically want sun-grown?I looked
Thank you very much for the links!
typically, Ecuador as a growing region is considered to be shade grown because of the cloud cover.
We won't be able to get as high of quality as Tatuaje/My Father does, but the Ecaudorian Habano Ligero wrapper would be where I would suggest you try first.
I figured as much but I wanted a launching point. Has anyone ever worked with this before?
I agree with the Habano Ligero choice if your intending on further fermenting the leaf.
I use this leaf all the time
I first bought quarter pound samples of each LO Ec shade hab. I liked the shade seco best, so then I bought two pounds of it. Stashed away 4 boxes of 4 different blends wrapped with it: Sonoros, Uppowoc Bobs, Jackals, Matalotos. Went well with each blend. This is the characteristic that made me choose the seco shade: it adapts to various blends. I didn't get that impression from the ligero nor from the viso wrappers. The Ligero masked nuances of the fillers; while the viso sort of flattened the fillers, if that makes sense. The seco added some habano, but subtly enough to let the blends breathe thru. All three are large impeccable leaves, delicate, not super strong but strong enough considering how thin, unobtrusive veins. All three are dark. All easy to work with.
