Padilla Lanceros, yum yum!!
Hmmm, I am no expert, so don't take what I will write to heart.
My theories....
Maduro wrappers are a thicker leaf as compared to most natural wrappers. I suspect when the wrapper is applied, the maduro leaf has more tensile strength, and can be wrapped more tightly around the binder and bunch where in contrast the thinner natural wrappers are more fragile and need more delicacy to be applied, thus a bit looser in construction.
Another reason for a tighter draw might also have to do to how much moisture can be absorbed into the leaves. The maduro, being thick, has the potential to retain more moisture and slightly expand (swell up) more so than the thinner natural wrapper.
Of course I am just really blowing a lot of smoke and you are probably smoking sticks that are plugged or the humidity is too high in the maduros you smoked. The only "maduro" I had draw problems with was the El Mejor Expresso churchill.

Cigars are usually a little wet when shipped, not all. I would let em sit for at least month in your humi (mine is 65) and go from there. Could be you are smoking them right out of the store. SOme of those guys keep there smokes to wet for me. After I buy em I let em sit for about a month before I smoke em.

Oh you are talking a different kind of draw, sorry. 
I have not noticed much difference, but I have not really paid attention to it. I will keep some notes on this and test the theory.

Haven't ever noticed it.
I suppose it's possible that if your humidity were fairly high, the thicker maduro wrappers might constrict things a bit...
