Cohiba (Cuba) Maduro Magicos

Nice rich cigar with wonderful aroma and pretty good burn. (needed one touch up).
Typical maduro sweetness but this cigar had a unique combo of flavors of chocolate, coffee and spice- all mixed together. Im normally disappointed with a Cohiba as I have found they are hit and miss but this is a good cigar.

This cigar was the one that got me back into cigar smoking. Prior to tasting this cigar about a year ago, I had a half box of Don Thomas cigars in my humidor, and would occasionally smoke on the golf course. I’m 28 now, and I have been smoking cigars since I was 18. This was gifted to me by a friend. The fact that it was a maduro Cuban really sparked my interest. First off it was the darkest Cuban cigar I’d seen to that point. Perhaps the Partagus Series D #4 was the only other one that I have personally smoked that compared. The wrapper looked like a dark choclate bar, and the Maduro 5 band was also a new look. Upon lighting, there is a mellow spice, with chocolate and burnt leather. Towards the middle, it becomes a flavorful powerhouse. Lots of smoke, at times a little to strong, but for me, I like a cigar that burns cool, but can over power me a bit, as to leave its mark so I remember it. Suffice to say, after this cigar, I promptly picked up a box, and have filled my humidor with over 200 different sticks for all occasions. Simply put, if you are a cigar smoker whether casual or everyday, these sticks will make you remember why you decided to start smoking in the first place. They provide a moment of inner reflection and a temporary escape from everything around you…and oh yeah, it goes great with scotch!

As I come to expect from Cohiba, a great construction, tons of nice smoke, complex and consistent flavors from start to finish. A huge difference after about 4-5 months of aging from just right out of the box. I would say about a year in the humidor and this will compete against the very best. This cigar is not cheap, but its is also not an everyday smoke. Save it for special occasions, and don't give bad reviews based on your wallet, rather on the quailty of the smoke.

A completely different experience than I had in the summer with the Genios. Still had a great draw and burn, and that maduro "sweetness" at the outset. As it progressed, it had occassional flavors of chocolate and cinnamon (the cinnamon puffs were wonderful). It also didn't have any of the "grassy" profile that I associate with most fresh Cohibas and don't really care for. An enjoyable smoke all the way to the nub, I am really looking forward to trying the smaller RG Secretos.

Yes, I know, it's a novelty; but damn, I wish I had self control. This is another of those cigars that can never live up to your hopes. Solid flavor, sure, but for the price a choir should burst forth in song. Instead you get the average Cuban flavor with a hint of sweet harmony. Nowhere near worth the money.

A very good, unique smoke. Espresso, bittersweet chocolate, nuts and earth. Great build and draw. Price is ridiculous, of course, but I can't swear I wouldn't do it again.
