Maduro CC's

[Sprintcars11]

Hello all!
A friend of mine likes Maduro cigars of larger ring gauges. I have had a fey different CC's but I'm not familiar with the entire landscape yet. What are the CC's that would fit these parameters? Looking for recommendations.

Partagas Maduro No.3's are 5.7x50

Very tasty and much more reasonably priced than the Cohibas

Have a box en route as we speak actually.

CC’s don’t exactly use the Maduro/natural classification. The 2 mentioned are the few actually labeled “Maduro”.
Most darker wrapper crop are used on Edition Limitadas or more limited releases. You will find the occasional darker wrapper on certain sticks (monte 2/PSD4/most Dip 2’s) They also refer to darker leave as oscuro instead of Maduro

Padron 1964 no.4 maduro would make a good gift (6.5x60) to fit the bill, not sure if it had to be CC

Interesting info
Thanks.

Always wondered why they didn't produce more "Maduros"

I have gotten some other regular production cigars with pretty dark wrappers on occasion.

Agree, that is an outstanding smoke if it doesn't have to be a cc

Thank you for this! As I said I am still learning the landscape.

What we consider "maduro" is actually a combination of leaf and fermentation/heat. If I remember correctly it more defines that process than the color.

Most often thicker leaf (think broadleaf with DE or Nicaraguan with padron) that is sun grown and then heavily fermented to produce the thick, oily leaf that we refer to as "maduro".

Versus in Cuban a crop can be shade or sun grown, but the process of categorizing the leaf color while they roll (much like color matching wrappers in boxes) is done after the harvest with what was produced by the field. Like (you mentioned) how you have some boxes from other brands that sometimes come with darker wrappers and vary box to box (or code to code).\

Great info.

I was aware that maduro refers to a process more than a color as i have seen the wrapper of some cc's listed as maduro, but the cigar was not referred to as a maduro in the name.

Perfect example is some QDO 50's I currently have with very dark wrappers i would call maduro by color, but obviously are not called maduros.

In fact, I'm fairly sure in the cigars I reviewed here in collaboration with Roger, there were likely some i listed the wrapper color as maduro, but they were not named as or "true" maduros.

So many little nuggets of info about cigars that you never stop learning new things...

Haven’t had the no.4, but based on the 1964 maduro vitolas I’ve had, I imagine it’s delectable.
