covers its entire length with the head then finished in a second cover leaf of rich, Nicaraguan Criollo.

Oh, so I was right, after all, in my initial assessment? I was attacked for it in another thread.

According to DE marketing rep, the Criollo is the darker wrapper and is placed on top of the Ecuadorian (lighter wrapper). The Ecuadorian covers the entire cigar, while the darker Criollo only covers the top inch and a half.

Its difficult to tell visually due to "lack" of seam. Its the darkest Criollo wrapper I have seen so far. And best tasting as well, I usually skip a cigar if it has a Criollo wrapper since I find it kind of "muted" and one dimensional (although love Illusione and Cruzado, go figure). This one definitely adds to the flavor with nice sweet and spicy notes, best part of the cigar IMO.
