Maduro and Connecticut wrappers are two distinct varieties of cigar wrapper leaves. Maduro wrappers are usually darker in color, more robust in flavor, and have a higher oil content than Connecticut wrappers. The dark color is due to the extra fermentation process maduros undergo, which creates an intense sweetness that balances out their bold flavor. Connecticut wrappers on the other hand tend to be lighter in color and milder in taste with lower oil content. While they lack the intensity of maduros, they provide a smoother smoke that can often be enjoyed by those who don’t prefer strong flavors.
