The 5 Vegas Gold Maduro has much more Nicaraguan filler in it.

In addition to that, bear in mind that there are a number of growing regions in these countries and by going to a different region and/or taking a different priming from the plant, it's no longer the same fillers. And, of course there is the obvious that they might not even be the same variety of tobacco to begin with.
Thanks Adam, so the Maduro still has Nic and Hon in it, just more Nic than the regular Gold did?
