Many of your favorite cigars come in either maduro or claro wrapper variations. But beyond the difference in color, what exactly separates a maduro from a claro? And which drink pairings work best with each?
On this episode of Flavor Odyssey, Robby Ras steps into the ring to represent the rich, dark world of maduro wrappers, while Randy Griggs makes the case for the lighter, brighter claro side. Grab your favorite maduro or claro cigar, pour a pairing of your choice, and join us for another flavorful journey on this week’s Flavor Odyssey.
