PR Edge Maduro Dyed Wrapper

I think one reason is that the wrappers they use are not the prettiest things and probably are not uniform in color and Americans always want something that appears to be perfect. It's the same with apples. Those nice shiny red ones you see at the store are, for the most part, dyed to make them "pretty" to the consumer.

The dyed wrapper also makes it appear as if it is a stronger cigar to the average smoker. I still enjoy the ´92 but I have to admit the quality of RP smokes has gone down the last few years.

There are very few cigar makers that DON'T enhance their maduro wrappers in some way. I've smoked Anejos and a Padron 80th that stained my fingers, and pitch-black cheapo bundles that didn't stain my fingers. Guess it depends on how well they "enhance" the wrappers. The worst I've ever had was an Olde World Reserve maduro. I could rub my fingers together and the residue would flake off like dirt.
