What is Amarillo?

Amarillo refers to a specific shade of cigar wrapper that is light in color, typically a yellowish or golden hue. This wrapper is usually made from Connecticut Shade or other light tobacco leaves. Amarillo wrappers are known for their mild flavor, often used in cigars that have a smooth, subtle smoking experience with notes of cream, hay, or nuts. These cigars are popular among those who prefer milder smokes, as the lighter wrapper contributes less intensity than darker leaves, allowing the filler tobacco flavors to shine through.
