Default Sticks other than maduros...

This is a query for maduro lovers...
What cigars other than those nice, dark wrappered babies do you maduro hositas like? How about some of the Kristoffs like the corojo?
I!m looking for something familiar, but different and decidedly tasty.
Suggestions welcome.

I love maduros more than anything but every once in awhile I go with corojos or habano wrapppers. But nothing beats those dark smokes.

Kevin stole my answer, but I do like a habano or corojo wrapper if it's sweet and spicy.
Also Oscuro's, of course.

I don't ever think in "what cigar" terms, but in construction. If a new cigar is made of tobaccos I like, I'm likely to try it. If not, I don't. It's easy enough to go see what a cigar is made of, and I do it regularly.
