La Aurora Preferidos question
 
Could anyone tell me which wrapper is on the La Aurora Preferidos that says "Desde 1903" on the label? The Cameroons I have say "Cameroon", Maduros say "Maduro," but what are these others?

Famous had a box of 6 "Naturals" for sale recently, but what exactly does "natural" refer to in this case ... Connecticut? Corojo? Is the "Desde 1903" the "natural" wrapper?

Thanks gang!

If so, according to their site, it is a cameroon wrapper.

Looks like it is the Natural.

"Desde 1903" roughly translates to "From 1903", 1903 being the year La Aurora was founded.

Desde also translates to Since, "Since 1903"

Seeing that it's been 20 years since I've actively spoken any Spanish, I'm just glad I was able to remember the "1903" part correctly.

Isn't anything but a maduro technically a "natural" wrapper?

Looks like it would be the Connecticut, which is the blue (sapphire) tubo I believe.

Well technically, all tobacco is "natural", however the natural I am referring to is synonymous with a Connecticut Shade wrapper.
