Your Preferred Wrapper Color

[cvm4]

What color wrapper do you ask for when you order? I don't necessarily believe in lighter tastes better vs. darker tastes better, etc. But, I do believe a light color wrapper will burn better then a darker colored one, i.e. recent p2's with dark and light wrappers. So, I tend to ask for Colorado claro and Colorado if that's not available.

What say ye? Notice any difference in taste between dark and light wrappers? Same with the burn? What color do you normally ask for, if you do?

Interseting question. Depends on the smoke. Partagas a med shade, Cohiba a dark red shade. Overall I like darker shades, they seem to age a bit better than the lighter shades. Just my opinion.

My favorite color wrapper is the one wrapped around cuban tobacco.

Dammit, that's what I was gonna say!

I don't care and take what ever they are selling pretty much. Aesthetically I prefer colorado wrappers.

I've got 2 boxes of P2s and hands down the darker of the 2 boxes are better.

Shades of brown.

I used to be a maduro whore when I first started out. I still enjoy a good maduro but certainly not like I used to.

Me too caudio; but now I tend to prefer natural wrappers.

You can if the vendor you use inspects the box before shipping :thumbsup:

Depends on the cigar. IMHO, lighter is usually better, but only because It seems like the "Dark and Oily" wrappers are thicker, and in my experience tend to have more burn issues.
That's the main reason (other than price) that I think most EL's are crap.

 

[ohpus]

40boy, in my experience the darker, thicker wrappers need to be stored at about 65% to stop burn issues.

 

[Wasch_24]

Eh, even that doesn't help much.

The wrapper I ask for usually depends on the occasion. Lately it's been lots of red and green ...

I'm a Maduro whore. I don't know why, but I LOVE oily wrappers. Some of the prettiest things are vintage smokes, soaked with oil. Yum! Too bad I don't ahve too many boxes that are very oily. It seems most of the stock Im having at is picked over to mostly Claro

 

[stogies&hoagies]

No preference here. I enjoy them all.

 

[joshua]

I don't like the blue ones with red spots
