I've often read that the wrapper leaf on a cigar has a dominant influence on the overall flavor. I always wondered why. If we look at a typical 48-50 rg cigar there is typically one leaf of a stronger flavor in the center of the bunch. This is surrounded by 2 or 3 of other types of leaves. It is then wrapped in 1 or 2 binder leaves and finally one wrapper leaf on the exterior. The wrapper leaf makes up, at best, only 1/5 of the tobacco. So why would that one leaf, which is not the strongest flavored leaf, have such a large impact on the overall cigar experience? Does it have to do with the fact that as it burns it has easier access to oxygen and that somehow impacts its contribution to the cigar experience? Does anyone have a answer or maybe a theory?
