Asked around and only found one. Why so few? A matter of taste? Tradition? Would like some info and opinions on this subject.
 
for one, there's really no need to make a cuban "maduro". most cuban cigars taste really good, especially the ones wrapped with lighter wrappers. and if you must have a dark wrapper on a cuban cigar then go buy some of the ELs.

Time and cost to produce.

This is basically it. But, the maduro wrapper has not really been very popular until recent history, so there wasn't really a need for it. When the maduro started to become more popular, it was not feasible for the Cubans to produce one. There was already a shortage of good wrapper leaf and the extra time it takes to make a true maduro wrapper, combined with a shortage, did not equal success.
