Dark wrappers are generally associated with stronger cigars although that isn't necessarily the case. Maduro refers to tobacco which has been aged longer than regular tobacco and that's why the leaf is darker.

Seems to work that way with beer too. It's why I'll be trying to brew a black beer that tastes more like an amber.

Too bad it only allows one like! The BIPA is what made me want to brew a deceptive black ale.

@StogieNinja : It seems none are available as a single. Not much choice at CI.

Nestor Miranda Collection Maduros are very tasty and not too bold in the flavor category. My wife loves them. Macanudo Maduros are also pretty benign but still very tasty.

I've never considered aging it as I've always heard an IPA fades in the flavor/aroma sector. I brew my hoppier beers in intervals with things that do sit.

Sticks with maduro wrappers can vary wildly. To the point that is makes me wonder what the "maduro" label really means. Is the Drew Estate Undercrown a maduro? It's got a maduro wrapper but, in my opinion, none of the typical maduro flavors. The AJ Diesel Unholy Cocktail is a maduro (by wrapper) but again, pretty unusual flavors for a maduro. Maduro is way too broad to categorically say that they've got a bad name. Or that they're collectively great.

Try the Kristoff Ligero Maduro. Med-full bodied, medium strength, and absolutely tons of creamy mocha notes. I also agree on the Tat Reserva or Padron suggestion, even the x000 line is great in maduro.
