Opinions on wrapper impact..

A good recent comparison for me recently in an NC is the RP Decade. It was an okay cigar IMHO, but then had a Decade Cameroon, and it was a much different experience, in a good way.

For me a lot of it depends on the specific cigar. I think the wrapper on a Quai D' Orsay impacts the flavors I taste more than the wrapper on a typical Bolivar would. In the non-Cuban world, I'd say the same regarding a Fuente versus a Chisel. In a more powerful smoke, I think the filler overpowers the wrapper by a fair margin in terms of perceived flavor. In a lighter cigar I think the wrapper has somewhat more impact. At least that's been my impression.
