No, Mike, my experience is that is actually holds the moisture in.

They are a great cigar. There is also a maduro version, that is wrapped in black foil.

The maduro is definitely the way to go IMO if they have it

The call it wet packing as the cigars are rolled in foil while still wet. I believe it is also supposed to help the aging process too. The MJ12 is a great stick!

Are they actually wet packed? I could be mistaken, but I thought they went through the normal storage procedure at the factory and then were foil wrapped for looks right before boxing. Dion and his wacky cigar name tie ins, something about "MJ12" referring to the Roswell alien incident investigation team and foil wrapping = foil hats.

That's just the country of origin, which could encompass any one of hundreds of different tobaccos.

IIRC, it's a Corojo 99 leaf, taken from the upper viso primings.
