Maduro isn't a type of wrapper, it's a shade. Any type of tobacco can be made "maduro" with longer fermentation to a darker color, although there are a few that are hardly, if ever seen. I don't know what wrapper is on these, it could have been any number of possibilities.

You might be able to describe it, sure, you might not pick up the essence of old elderberries or something, but you can probably get some what of a description down. Try describing in simple terms - sweet, sour, salty, bitter... Was there any distinct flavor in there that reminded you of any foods or other cigars?

Mild or medium, I don't know. What cigars have you smoked that had about the same mouthfeel of the smoke? Was it heavy, chewy, light, airy, velvety?

Did you feel at any point like the cigar was going to push you down, give you a buzz or make you woozy or even sick? To most smokers starting out, these are how a heavy, full bodied, strong cigar would manifest itself.

32 is really narrow, that's only a half inch in diameter. An "AA" battery is about a 36. Regardless, it could have been anything. You might be better off going through the CI, Famous, Holts and JR websites and finding and ordering samplers with lots of Dominican or primarily Dominican cigars in them. You might never find that exact cigar flavor again, but it will broaden your horizons and experience along with possibly allowing you to find some new cigars that you enjoy.
