I don't know that it does. In fact, lots of people LOVE maduros. A lot of them are more approachable to some newer palates, as they can be sweeter, more "chocolate" and coffee flavors, and they appeal more to those who favor stronger flavor in things.
There have been a number of makers who have dyed and otherwise messed with leaf to get a darker color, which has caused some folks to experience discoloration of fingers and lips, which is disconcerting, and kind of gross, so that may be what has caused your impression.smallbatchcigar.com - the best cigar retailer on the net

Hmmmm... I've seen the remark "don't let friends smoke Maduro" a few times.
I notice several sticks come in a "natural" or Maduro stick and wondered.
I notice I seem to prefer the somewhat milder types and wonder how I'd accept this. I love the "dark chocolate and coffee" flavors in beers, and drink a strong and dark roast coffee black. But I don't seem to care for the more robust(?) cigars."Were I to leave where else would I go? Your words of life and of truth You hold." - Third Day

I'm thinking I ought to look for a M-M Maduro to try. I noticed the 5 Vegas Gold, which is a bit more mild than I prefer, offered with a Maduro wrapper.

I'm often time very impressed, and surprised what a delight some Maduro wrapped sticks are to smoke. I've never been lucky enough to get the fake dyed ones.

I'd prefer to pass on anything dyed to make me believe in something!
I don't care much about nicotine, and find the stronger ones have me curled up for a nap except for the Onyx Reserve which is said to be a full strength stick. I liked it a lot!"Were I to leave where else would I go? Your words of life and of truth You hold." - Third Day

Looking at a CAO America stick (M-F) for a shade over $8. Anyone try this?

If you want to really know what a good maduro ought to taste like, try one of the Padron 1964 or 1926 maduros a try. Then for a lower cost alternative, try the Tatuaje Reservas, I'd probably recommend starting with the 7th Reserva. Also give Crowned Heads Jericho Hill or La Imperiosa a try.

I think people are just naturally afraid of a maduro. It's dark and looks really serious...
As mentioned though, they are actually very, very good (IMO).
Same reason people are scared of dark coffee. You miss out on a lot of amazing, sweet and complex flavor.
