Which wrapper is it?

[NCRadioMan]

I like specifics we get today. I think manufacturer's were dumbing down the consumer when they used color to describe flavor. And you nailed it. Today, the consumer is more informed and knows what the different strains of baccy are and knows the characteristics of them and the particular growing region because of the flow of information available today.

..until I found that no one was using that list.

My question is, is that much better? Is the consumer more well-informed, or has the plethora of information done more to dazzle and obscure the consumer? (There's a whole topic for another time/place/forum...) Now that I have that short rant out of my system....

Here's a way to look at this - three cigars all sport a Habana Sun Grown wrapper from Nicaragua, but all three wrappers are different shades of color.
If we're all about being well-informed, then my suggestion is that, if we are indeed more informed, the let's get specific. Of the above cigars, one is a Nicaraguan Colorado HSG, the next is a Nicaraguan Colorado Maduro HSG, and the last is a Nicaraguan Maduro HSG. And yes, all three are possibilities.

Is that a good route to go?
