Opinions on wrapper impact..

Sooner · 05-10-2016, 08:16 AM

I can definitely pick up deferences in cigar tastes with different wrappers. whether I am smoking the same blend with just a different wrapper, or the same blend in a different size. For example I can smoke a PDR Habano Sun Grown in Lancero, than smoke one in Robusto. The pepper you get off the robusto is in your face, whereas in the lancero it is a very mellow background flavor. Smoke that same blend with an Oscuro wrapper and it changes things up even more.

So I will agree with the gentlemen who posted before me and

A) take the word of people who have worked in the industry for years and know a heck of a lot more than I do.

B) not put a percentage on how much the wrapper makes up of the flavor profile. That percentage whatever it may be, obviously depends on the ring gauge and therefore the amount of wrapper leaf used, the type and thickness of the wrapper leaf and how flavorful the wrapper is (mild to full body).

Great stuff guys. Come to think of it I do notice a difference when smoking the same cigar in say a maduro wrapper. Quite a big difference actually. Because of this, perhaps I assumed it was a slightly different blend. It's just amazing to think that something with such a tiny percentage of the overall volume has such a dramatic impact. There's magic in 'dem 'der seegars.
