Box of the Day....mottled wrappered Upmann Number 2


Recommended Posts

I use the terms "blotchy", "splotchy" or "marbled". 

And I think the discussion was related to Corojo vs Habana 2000 wrappers and how the Habana 2000 seems to have this characteristic while the Corojo was much more uniform in character.

Personally, I have no qualms with the so-called "mottled" wrappers. If they burn well, I'm a happy guy. And the nuances in the colors are actually fairly attractive, IMO.

There's nothing wrong with those wrappers.  Not a thing.  Beautiful IMO.  :2thumbs:  

There have been some instances in the past when I would get a complaint about mottled wrappers. 

I have never seen it as a flaw. Just a thing of beauty.

"Brindle" is how I describe wrappers like that, wonderful. Saw a happy little Staffy yesterday being walked down our street, his (? I think it was a he, didn't check or ask lol) coat looked almost exactly the same. Dark, shiny, brindle coat. Same with the cigars :)

 

I am a creature of habit that is for certain. Frankly mottled was the best I could come up with, yet "brindle" is very accurate and I might have to rip this one off!!! Good call mate!

Nice box of cigars Bwana! I must admit, while I don't normally go for these ultra dark cigars, I could go for these... -R

Looks like a real man's cigar!  Toothy, blotchy, mottled colors - looks damn tasty!  Should fetch a premium!

"Brindle" is perfect!  Love to witness history as a new term is coined (in this case, new application of existing term).  Couldn't come up with a better descriptor.  Those sticks look great.
