Do maduros age as well?
I've finally been ageing cigars long enough that I have a few four and five year old boxes. One thing I've noticed is that, within brands, maduros don't seem to be ageing as well as their natural-wrapper cousins.
I just don't taste the mads gaining any for the sort of "warm" flavors (floral, leathery, chocolaty) that some of the nats are starting to pick up while the spice and richness of some of the mads is going away (as is that of some of the nats. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Is there some kind of explanation for why this might happen: different filler/binder blends due to wrapper differences? the difference in fermentation regimes for the mad wrappers?
