Does the wrapper really impart 60% of the flavor?

Yes, maybe. I don't know about 60%... might be 59.95 on sale. But the difference is statistically significant, I believe. The 1495 Connoisseur pack is a great way to experiment. None of them are better than the EcSu that the 1495 normally has, but they're all good.

Went to the CAO LX2 "tasting" event last year-fascinating! They provided us with tasting kits-three separate small cigars made entirely of a single one of the types of tobacco in the LX2, then a fourth with all three in the blend. Interesting how different the tobaccos were before the blend.

I wouldn't mind going to something like that again.
