Both great sticks, though these days I prefer the maduro.

As to the "bleeding" wrappers, that's been pretty widely discussed lately around the web. The RP factory started using water while rolling the cigars a little while ago, this apparently cuts down on wrapper breakage considerably, and speeds up the application of the wrapper. The "side-effect" is that the water seeps out some of the natural color from the maduro, which then gets spread over the leaf by the roller. The end result is that the sticks look very uniform in color, almost dyed.

Personally, I'd prefer RP not do that, even if it cuts down on costs, as I don't like the wrapper bleed effect.
