Opinions on wrapper impact..

[dijit]

It has been my experience that prelight and for maybe the first 1/3 of the cigar the wrapper is a significant part of the flavor. It is the part that first presents itself to the palate. As you smoke the cigar the oils in the cigar are released and are what causes the flavor profile to mature as you progress through your smoking experience. I would say in the final 1/3 the wrapper is very little if any of the flavor. I have particularly noticed this in maduro wrappers.
