I would disagree. I've smoked the same cigar (robusto) with and without a wrapper and it tasted the same. The blend is where the flavor comes from. Otherwise, you could just throw a bunch of leaves together without a thought and wrap it with a specific wrapper. But if you did that, it wouldn't taste too good.

Really? How do explain the first gen H2000 leaf then? The wrappers were horrible, burned horrible, but the cigars still tasted pretty good. I'm also curious why you feel one leaf is more flavorful than the several that make up the filler

The only connie wrapped smoke I realy enjoy is the 601 Black

What cigar are you referring to? I haven't had many H2000 Wrappers so I won't try to explain what I don't know much about but read the second part of my post. I am not saying that a good wrapper with a **** binder and filler would be good but to say that no flavor is imparted by the wrapper to me (not a pro mind you) is incorrect. Are you talking about the H2000 used in some Gurkha

the wrapper makes a HUGE difference plain and simple

grab a 601 , red, blue, green and black....

smoke the black..then smoke the green right after it...its a world of difference
then
smoke the red then the blue...also a world of difference..

put it to the test

I guess the debate is over. Plain and simple.

Do you guys like to keep your 601 blacks in the cello or take them out? what about the greens???

I'm a big fan of Don Diego and there is nothing wrong with liking a good connecticut shade (unless it's a Mac)!

Trust me, Red is no noob. You probably won't believe me cause I'm a noob too.

PV1191 · 10-04-2009, 01:29 AM

I like the Doritos without the bag. They all taste the same! You can mix the Nacho cheese with the Black pepper and you can't tell what is what. I also like to take the wrappers off of Twinkies and Ho Ho's and try to guess what is what.

Tarks · 10-04-2009, 01:29 AM
