Rosado

/ ro-SAH-do /
Tobacco & LeafSpanish
Definition
A wrapper with a distinctly reddish or rosy cast, from the Spanish for pinkish. It is a description of hue rather than a variety or a formal grade, and it usually comes from Cuban-seed leaf grown in strong sun.
Why it matters
Rosado shading is often taken as a sign of Corojo lineage and a spicy, sweet profile, though the color alone guarantees neither.
In context
"The rosado tint was obvious once the cigar was next to a plain Colorado wrapper."
