Dyed Maduro wrapper

[Branzig]

I read somewhere that maduro cigars have become so popular that some companies have started dying their wrappers to cash in on the craze.

Plus fermenting a maduro wrapper takes time. Why not just cut out that whole time thing and dye the sucker lol.

I've read similar comments. The funny thing is that I have, on more than one occasion, confused a maduro Padron for a non-maduro because the color is not always uniformly dark when dealing with a maduro wrapper.
