Wrapper Wars: Maduro vs Claro

Many of your favorite cigars come in either maduro or claro wrapper variations. But beyond the difference in color, what exactly separates a maduro from a claro? And which drink pairings work best with each?

Grab your favorite maduro or claro cigar, pour a pairing of your choice, and join us for another flavorful journey on this week’s Flavor Odyssey.
