    Favorite wrappers, hmm, I've been getting to the point where I am starting to pick up the different flavors from different wrappers but not sure I've tried enough to really say authoritatively, but I have really been enjoying the Mexican San Andres wrappers like the Espinosa Murcielago and Brass Monkey, Sam Leccia Luchador, and the BLTC Morphine (which has a dual San Andres and Ecuador Habano wrapper) but I also really like Sumatra wrappers like San Cristobal Revelations (Ecuadorian Sumatra), Aging Room F55s, Leaf by Oscar, and the La Herencia Cubana CORE (Ecuadorian Sumatra) I tried today.

    I like smoking by wrapper type consecutively across different cigars so that I can get a good taste of the wrapper's contribution.  I saw @jliu peel back a bit of the wrapper in Reno to smoke a bit of the cigar and get a taste without the wrapper's contribution, haven't tried that yet.  I've enjoyed the Brazil wrappers on the Espinosa Laranga and CAO Brazilia too.

    I'll have to tackle some Cameroon's soon, I know that there's a big fan base there.

    I'm in love with the MSA

    This is an old one! 

    I have always really enjoyed Brazilian wrappers. CAO was what got me into them, but the La Palina black is a recent one I've been smoking. Have to include the Caldwell eastern std's and tzars as one of the most interesting Brazilians (hybrid).

    Corojo is a favorite too.

    Connecticut broadleaf is probably my favorite wrapper hands down. I do enjoy the Mexican San Andreas and a good Connecticut as well.
    Team O'Donnell FTW!

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    ... couldn't resist, and from a quick YouTube sampling, I prefer Cameroon rappers over Sumatra rappers.

     I'm a fan of the Sumatra for the subtle sweetness it brings, Corojo and Criollo for the spice.

    Going to agree with Nathan here, Sumatra especially on Tatuaje offerings as well as Penn Broadleaf and of course CUBA baby!
