Wrapper: Maduro / Oscuro

in plain terms

'Maduro' means ripe — it's a fermentation style, not a plant. Extra time and heat in the fermenting pile darken the leaf and convert starches to sweetness. Oscuro is the darkest grade.

Commonly reported: dark chocolate, coffee, dried fruit, molasses. Sweetness without added flavoring.

Dominican Republic

The largest premium producer. Cibao valley tobacco tends toward refinement — creamy, nutty, balanced.
