Explanation of "Colorado Maduro" wrappers

This question came up in my latest review thread, and I'm hoping some of our resident experts can answer mine and @chain_gang 's question.

Is Colorado Maduro simply a name for a wrapper color, or has it gone through at least some of the maduro making process, just a lighter color.

Here's a link to the cigar in question if that helps:

Thanks in advance for any answers,
Sean

I friggin' LOVE cigars

In addition to @jrfoxx 's question, just wanted to confirm that a reference to Colorado is only a reference to the leaf's color and nothing else, like origin etc.

Posted this on another forum as well and getting lots of people reading it, but no responses, so apparently the answer isn't common knowledge like i would have guessed

I wonder if @cheaphumidors can give some info since she's in the industry?

Its an interesting question. I have no inside knowledge but to me it sounds like marketing. Maybe a leaf that is commonly fermented like maduro but is not.

A quick google search had some info from Famous Smoke Shop. See #2

I looked a little yesterday and my guess is it may not have fermented as long as other maduros

Delayed double post

This is basically the explanation i got from a very reliable source on my other forum.

It has gone through some of the Maduro making process, but not all. It has been fermented less

This is what I always thought, but there seemed to be a lot of people who were unsure, based on how many people read these 2 threads but didn't respond, and some said it was just a color description.

Glad a very knowledgeable, trusted source on my other forum verified it for those of us who were unsure.

But what's the underlying leaf? Connecticut broadleaf? Brazilian Matafina? San Andres?

Because, in my recollection, the typical colorado wrappers (I think criollo, corojo etc if I'm not mistaken - someone correct me if I am) are not used as maduro wrappers.
