"true" maduros
all this maduro discussion lately got me thinking, have I ever had a true maduro wrapped cigar?
I started a thread a few weeks ago concerning the use of dye and found that dyed and cooked wrappers are actually very common, and all the major cigar manufacturers utilize one or both of these techniques. so I guess my question is, if I wanted to try a maduro that wasn't cooked or dyed, where would I go? Are they just a myth? |

"Cooking" or heat fermentation is done to speed the process to my understanding.
"Dying" is done for color consistency only and does not affect flavor or taste. I am not sure if even the Cuban Cohiba Maduro is a completely naturally fermented wrapper. |

Padron maduro. It's hard to tell the difference between the natural and maduro because the natural is sun grown and the maduro is completely, well, natural. The wrapper shades are really close. But the difference in the flavor is obvious.

I believe Oliva triple ferments for a maduro wrapper.

Re: "true" maduros
interesting, that makes sense though. The maduros in their regular line don't have unnaturally dark or oily wrappers. I wonder about the 64s and 26s though. I think it was a 26 that originally sparked my interest in the subject. They just look a little too dark sometimes and it made me curious. not that I really care, I don't smoke many maduros anyway. but the maduro 26s do look much darker than the regular line.

Re: "true" maduros
My favorite maduro is the LGC Wavell. Is that a "true" maduro?

Re: "true" maduros
cigars are sorted by wrapper colour. claro, maduro,oscuro...are all just color classifacations.
the manafactures use "special" fermentation processes to get the dark color. some wrappers are more suited for the fermentation process like the conneticut broadleaf. |

Re: "true" maduros
I know that CAO dyes some of their maduro wrappers. The stains on my fingers and lips were proof enough for me. I haven't had fuentes do that, so at most fuentes "cook" their wrappers, but I don't know that for sure.
