Which wrapper is it?

While all SG, the darkness of the wrapper means something - either amounto of sugar in the leaf at the priming, or amount of time in the aging room, or.... and so, the flavor is different based upon the color of that SG wrapper. This could be true if it comes off the same plantation.

If all those wrappers are on the same blend, I would contend there wouldn't be much difference in the basic flavor. It's one leaf compared to many, many more inside.

Take Padron for example, I have opened many boxes of maduros that were lighter than the naturals. And vice-versa yet, if you picked up a Padron Maduro that is very dark and one that is very light, they taste virtually the same.

A certain leaf can come in many different shades, yet taste the same.

This is the best way of answering the OP's question, imo.

With only one exception that I have found, I will heartily agree. Of course, every single cigar out of that box tasted different (don't ask me the name, it was a boom cigar, and they are no longer made).
