Interesting question.

From GRIN:

• Havana 503
  http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1446217
  TC 99
  received: 1966. PI assigned: 1991
  Accession was developed. Wisconsin, US.
  Cigar-binder tobacco. Homozygous resistance to wildfire and TMV, and a high degree of resistance to black root rot. Produces smaller and fewer suckers than other varieties.
  Pedigree: Havana 501/Burley 21.
• Havana 503B
  http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1447625
  TC 100
  received: 1991. PI assigned: 1991
  donated. 1991. North Carolina, US.
  No additional information.

I'm going to make a wild guess that 503B is merely a separately maintained seed batch of the same variety, given the sequential TC numbers and the identical listing dates. Perhaps Jessica could clarify this.

yes perhaps are you right Bob, have been thinking of why they saved the 503 name, but this make a point..

Sorry "CIGAR" I did a test one Havana 142 but didn't find the PDF-file (book) that i looking for.
I know my question don't have any answer in it..

Every tobacco have a reason,and a history and I think it's very funny To know things about the one I like or don't like..

n/p Hasse SWE..I laso tried google search on many Havana #'s and only got places to buy the seeds lol..but I love reading about all tobacco history and such and seeing how many of the cigar tobacco called Havanas out there is very interesting seems alot cross-breeding went on many years ago.

I think (sense tobacco always makes some very very small differences) perhaps 503B make goes more to the Burley and 503 more to Havana..
But how know's
