id go oscuro... especialy if it is a dark one. though the process is different than the maduro there will still be extra sugars. be ready for a bit stronger and spicier smoke than the maduro.
Thanks Kuzi, I'll probably still be getting the maduro in the available smaller vitola, but I'll experiment with the oscuro wrapper in my preferred vitola. Well, I guess both purchases will be a bit of an experiment.
To my knowledge the maduro goes through a higher heat formentation and requires a certain plant where oscuro's are mostly habanos and are just foremen ted longer...a rosado is basically the shade all have different qualities if you want sweet maduro then oscuro. The rosado will be more spicy and depending on what you look for all are different
Great info here for those who aren't really up to date on the processes of wrappers of cigars. The darker the wrapper the better as far as sweetness goes and Oscuro really is the ultimate of tastes IMO. Remember all of the buzz about the Behikes....a lot of it is because of that medio tiempo leaf and it is in about a half dozen other brands that I tend to smoke. I imagine that more brands will start using more of this leaf but it takes a bit more curing and the cost is going to factor in but to me...it's worth it.
I switched to a maduro leaf years ago and smoke a lot of darker cigars because my tastes at my age have changed considerably and I need a more complex stronger and sweeter cigar to get my kicks. I do enjoy the lighter wrappers from time to time but they are few and far between.
Rosados are a good cigars as well but they have that peppery type of taste and are on the uprise in brands for good reason. They meld with the filler of the cigar much like you'd squeeze lemon over fresh seafood...it just brings out more of the flavor and w/o having to push that "pepper" taste into a cigar the Rosado does it in a way where it's not overpowering.
