Padron 1964 Anniversary: Natural vs Maduro

Both share origin (Nicaragua), strength (Full), and catalog price band ($15-$20). They differ on wrapper (Natural vs Maduro).

Same line, two wrapper shades. Padrón sells the 1964 Anniversary in a natural wrapper and a maduro wrapper, which makes this pair one of the cleanest ways to taste what a wrapper does on its own.

The honest difference

A maduro wrapper is fermented longer and runs darker, and smokers commonly describe maduros as sweeter and richer. A natural wrapper is lighter in color. Whether that holds for your palate is worth testing yourself: same size, one of each, a few days apart.
