They look like they have some mould on them. And say Claro underneath too, doesn't that mean they should be wrapped?

Its to do with the wrapper shade dont know if it was applied and marked by importers or cuba themselvesOriginally posted by PeeJay View PostComment

Any mention of Claro is to do with the colour or shade of the all important wrapper leaf which keeps our little sticks of delight together and the contribution but not the final decision to the overall experience of the cigar with different fillers or binders being used....More info hoisted from another place - Although am sure you can recite these...I am still learningOriginally posted by rascal View Post
• CLARO
Shade grown tobacco – protected from harsh light by large canopies — is usually light tan in color (claro). It offers a smooth smoke with a neutral flavor.
• CONNECTICUT BROADLEAF
From the Connecticut River Valley, this leaf is grown in the sun, which results in a coarser, darker, sweeter wrapper.
• CONNECTICUT SHADE
This wrapper leaf developed its distinctive golden hue under the protective shade of huge tents in the Connecticut River Valley. It is a direct descendent of the Hazelwood strain of Cuban seed.
• COLORADO
A reddish dark brown wrapper with an aromatic smell and rich, robust taste.
• COLORADO CLARO
Brands including Dominican Partagas use this medium brown wrapper.
• COLORADO MADURO
Slightly more aromatic than Maduro, the dark brown leaves of Colorado Maduro are found in many of the fine Honduran cigars, giving them a rich, deep flavor.
• DOUBLE CLARO (aka CANDELA or AMERICAN MARKET SELECT
Double Claro’s distinctive green/greenish brown color is achieved by picking the leaves early, before they reach full maturity. A rapid drying processreadies the leaf which has very little oil and a mild, almost bland flavor.
• ENGLISH MARKET SELECTION (EMS)/NATURAL
This term refers to a natural color wrapper usually light brown to brown in hue. It is different than claro or lighter shades, and maduro or darker shades. Most often sun grown, EMS leaves offer a smooth, but full-bodied flavor.
• HABANA 2000™
A relatively new wrapper made from Cuban Seed tobacco grown in Nicaragua.
• MADURO
Mexican wrappers are often Maduro, with more texture and veining than the lighter wrappers, with its deep dark brown leaves. They are often described as oily looking, with a stronger taste – sweet on the palate with a unique aroma.
• OSCURO
The strongest tasting of all wrappers, Oscuros tend to hail from Brazil, Mexico and Nicaragua. With a dark brown, almost black appearance, these leaves offer a potent flavor.Comment
