Wrappers are a very important part of a cigar. Not only do wrappers play a functional role, they also play a role in the experience of a cigar. Knowing the differences in wrapper types can help you determine what cigar might be best for you. Can you explain how a Colorado wrapper differs from a Maduro wrapper? Do you know how a Claro wrapper will influence a cigars taste? Below, we explain each wrapper type in detail and the properties each wrapper type imparts on the experience of a cigar.
Oscuro: This wrapper type is made from leaves that grow at the very top of a tobacco plant. These dark wrappers generally have a stronger taste and may be considered a bit harsh to a first time smoker. This type of wrapper is more widely preferred by seasoned cigar smokers.
Double Claro: Light green in color, the Double Claro wrapper has a somewhat sweet taste and makes for an enjoyable smoke. However, these wrappers have fallen out of use somewhat and are thus hard to find.
Colorado: The Colorado wrapper is primarily brown with slight hints of red included. These wrappers are grown in shady conditions in order to produce a thinner leaf. However, these wrappers still have the reputation of being strong and durable.
Claro: Different from the Double Claro, this wrapper is also grown in the shade and has a tan hue. The most distinct difference in the Claro wrapper is that, generally, it is more mild in comparison to most other wrapper types.
Maduro: The Maduro wrapper can range from brown to black in color and provides a very smooth smoke. Applying flame from butane torch lighters releases the benefits of a lengthy curing process and can ensure that your smoking experience is as enjoyable as possible.
Obviously, we have not covered every style of cigar wrapper available. There are many other variations including, for expample, Colorado Maduro wrappers, Colorado Claro wrappers and many more. We have chosen here to examine some of the more unique or more widely available cigar wrapper styles. Choosing your cigars based on wrapper style is as important as selecting cigar size and method of lighting. Knowing the basics of wrapper styles can contribute to a more enjoyable smoking experience.
Finding the right wrapper type can be a delightful journey and can helping you experience many different brands of cigar, from all parts of the world.
