The wrapper makes up little of the flavor (Hamlet said its 5-10% of flavor.) Good filler is what matters, at least in my opinion.

Colorado Colorado Maduro Aesthetically like the darker wrappers

Oscuro, of course, being Spanish for "dipped in dye."

I love the cinnamon colored wrappers,I'm always happy to see them when I order a box.

I look forword to ordering some of the greazy looking Maduro's HQ's the pres post.

For me, it depends on both the mood of the day

as well as the cigar -

any Rafael Gonzalez, Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme etc. I like with a colorado / colorado claro wrapper;

the best Ramon Allones and RyJ I had were orange / brick red colorado,

Montecristo I like colorado maduro.

Some cigars are great with both the lighter or darker wrappers,

H.Upmann for example.

Don't really know though...

Cheers, Alex

I'm more colorado claro, but I checked off colorado rosado given the options, and because rosado reminded me of the last great opus x I enjoyed. :)

Like lots in the other shades though!

I love my favorite Ramon Allones Specially Selected in Claro, that light chestnut brown shade. All the best Cubans I have smoked have always been the lighter shades of brown.

I had a box of Monte 2 back around 2008 with very dark oily Maduro wrappers that were simply divine. I have not seen Monte 2 with this colour wrapper since.

The PSP Monte 2's I just got are pretty dark. I would definitely say they are closer to colorado maduro in color. They smell great.. Looking forward to lighting one up.

No mention for Candelas? pod.gif both my uncle and my great aunt would be scandalized...

Then again, so would JFK... um... come to think of it, he *was*... rotfl.gif

Personally, C. Maduro... tho I can edge toward Colorado. Any darker, and the flavor IMO changes too radically.

I agree with those saying that the best cigars (especially in the Cohiba line) seem to be colorado claro (due to options voted colorado rosado). That being said it does seem to depend on the marca sometimes because the best montes I've had have been a colorado maduro. Interesting thread.
