Cigars: Color

Double Claro: Very Light, slightly green in color. The green of the wrapper means that the leaves are picked before they reach maturity, I assume the reason is the same as with white tea, it heightens the sweetness.

Claro: Very Light Tan. This means that the tobacco is shade grown which also heightens the sweetness.

Colorado Claro: Not this doesn't have anything to do with the state, it has to do with the color red... Colorado in Spanish is the COLOR RED... This tobacco will have a slightly red-tan color.

Colorado: Red tobacco, also called Rosado.

Colorado Maduro: Darker red-brown. Usually comes from Africa and comes from Cuban seed.

Maduro: Dark Brown. Primarily American and South American grown.

Oscuro: VERY dark Black, often oily looking.
