Maduro vs Oscuro vs Rosado
I've had some Nestor Miranda Seconds in a maduro wrapper resting for about 7 or 8 months now and they really are good. So I go online searching for them and seems like the availability is not as good any more. The size that I want is available in Rosado and Oscuro but not Maduro.
Would Rosado be more similar to Madoro than the Oscuro?
Any input on the differences in flavor of these three wrappers would be appreciated.

Smoked a couple Smithdale Oscuro yesterday. First one was so good I had to chain fire a second. Never done that before.
Oscuro wrapper leaves are taken from the top priming at medio tiempo (literally half time, meaning theyve been left on the plant 50% longer). Since these leaves have been exposed to a maximum amount of sunlight, they begin to cure on the plant. You end up with a darker, thicker, richer and more flavorful leaf. once picked, they can then be fermented. many times an oscuro leaf will be fermented heavily and be black as coal. other times it wont.
maduro and oscuro often get confused as just colors or the same process just one doen more than the other. but they are very different.
rosado is a leaf that is red in color. thats about it on that one.
