When I got the Calle's, I'm sure they only offered robustos. I would have bet you they were maduros, but I pulled them out and the wrapper is very sumatra red. They still smell incredible, but I think they're moving past their "window" where they are super good.
I notice that with a lot of CI's house brands and even with their better stuff like Graycliff Double Espressos. They'll be awful, get real good, then fade into nothingness. I'm going to have to ask why that happens. It baffles me.
It must just be that I enjoy cigars most at a certain level of maturity?

Mine look more natural but I believe they said Maduro. Course if you ever looked at some of the HDM Oscuro colors sometimes color could be decieving. they didn't smell like a maduro.
