I happen to agree with you. Some of the best Cuban's I ever smoked. Boxes of CORO, Espy, a 50 cab of JL #2 from 2008, Punch Punch, Monte Edmundo's, Romeo short Churchills, Wide Churchills, RASS, Trinidad Robustos extra, Robustos T, Reyes. You get the picture. Not sure why, but I believe it let's well blended cigars show their intended taste. On the other hand, I've had dark wrapped cigars I didn't like, turn fantastic years down the road. Also comes down to a matter of preference imo.
