What does CLARO mean in Scrabble?
noun
trademark
A mild cigar rolled in a light brown, light-colored wrapper leaf.
A claro is graded by the color of its outer wrapper rather than by its filler, so two cigars with very different fillings can both be called a claro if the wrapper is pale enough. Tobacco sellers use claro alongside darker grades such as maduro to describe strength and appearance at a glance. The word came into English from Spanish, where it simply means light or clear.
