what does this type of wrapper typically mean (if anything)?

jliu

Lately, I've realized (whether it's just in my head or not) that I really like wrappers that are darker and has an oily sheen to it. I usually get really great creamy, nutty, at times caramel types of flavors. For example, a couple of the Johnny Os had this and it was sublime. Also had a LGC Serie N and I swear, notes of vanilla, caramel, coffee. I know taste is all subjective but just wanted to throw it out there to discuss / gain some clarity. Jiunn

Maduro can be little too strong for you. If you like darker, creamy, nutty, caramely flavors- you should try more Habano 2000, Criojo 98 wrapper such as Carlos Torano silver, la Aurora Puro Vintage, San Lotano Habano....you will also like Dominican sun grown rosado wrapper such as Ashton VSG.

Hey guys. Thanks for the feedback. One thing I will definitely look into now is keeping a cigar journal. I'm sick of getting random samplers that I know I probably won't smoke. This will be a great way to find out what I have a tendency to gravitate towards. Quite amazing how much knowledge you folks have. Pretty awesome.

I take back my comment of "prob not going to smoke the random samplers" I'm going to now do that. And, since I'm in finance and know Excel (not 100% happy to admit that b/c I stare at Excel sheets all the freakin time), I am going to copy Aeon. Good call dude. Tonight, Tat Anarchy gifted to me by Kevin (415). So far, comment will be "I can't type too much right now. Too happy enjoying this smoke"

Good stuff aeon. I have something similar, but there are some things on that I like better and will update mine. Google Docs works pretty well too if you want to be able to access it from multiple devices.

Just gona chime in on previous points about wrapper color. Darker doesn't mean stronger. Take the DPG Black lightish brown corojo but very potent. I would say learn to know your blenders, origin of the tobacco used and even the difference vitola makes this really helped me figure things out.

Aeon, thanks for posting these pics. I had a hell of a time finding this thread again to look at the pics to create my own, but damn you made it a heck of a lot easier on me with the different column titles. I am getting better with excel and using the form option from the data drop down has really sped up the entry process. I just wanted to bump this back to the top so that others will stumble across this if they need to create their own too.

Ok am I missing something? Potato is not listed in any of the descriptions.

It's all good. I know there is a ton of *** going on. I just used your pics and created my own with a few little differences. Your screen shots made it really easy. Thanks again!
