Thanks for the review. I tried the Cohiba ‘Maduro’ 5 a couple of times now. I agree that it’s a very nice cigar although for the life of me, I don’t see why they call it a maduro. The fly in the ointment is the price/quality ratio, which is absurd for most Cohiba cigars and this is no exception. I regularly smoke premium cigars such as Padr�n 1926, Ashton VSG etc. There I feel I get value for money, not so with the Cohiba.

cohiba is the champaine of cigars & PARTAGAS factory behind the CAPITOLIO is the place to check out.
just returned from cuba.purchased cohiba madur (10 cigars in a black box) for $64 cuc/about $72.96 CAN & they had in-house specials for $42 cuc/about $47.88 CAN (7 misc. sizes – lanceros,exquisitos,robustos,and 4-siglo,sizes I,II,III,IV ) in the old fort- EL MORO while on an overnight tour of havana.
also purchased a box of ROMEO Y JULIETA/25 sport largos in VERADERO at probably the best shop 5 min from the HOTEL INTERNATIONAL for about $51.25 CUC/about $58.39 CAN.
GUANTANAMERA were $5 CUC for a 5 pack …all no tax

I’m not a huge Cohiba fan but picked up a box of these in DR on a vendors recommendation and they are really nice. They put Monty #2 torps to shame in my book. I smoked them side by side a day apart.

I have a new favorite!

99 out of 100 is what the Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios gets. Anyone who says anything different is kidding themselves. This is as close to perfect as perfect can be. Just bought a 10 count box from Switzerland ( $190 US ) and been smoking them non stop for three days. Everyday I pull a couple more Genios from the humidor and each one I smoke seems to be better than the last!!! Awesome cigar and best part is you can buy them now, next week, next year, whenever you want because it�s made everyday and not just for one year.

I was in Grand Cayman this past weekend and I picked one of the magicos, what an unbelievable smoke. I found it to be much more medium bodied than I had anticipated. Burned nicely, full thick body, bright white ash. Earthy tones, leather, nutty. got better as it went. I liked it so much I picked up a total of 6 sticks… “I smoked them all” before I got back… Guess my humidor and I are the only ones who will ever know the truth… Because I doubt I would ever share these with anyone!!!

Just purchased my 3rd box of Magicos.
A great smoke and it seems the price has come down a little.

Cohiba Maduro 5 is of 140mm length with a ring gauge of 52.Because only the upper leaves of the plants are used it is darker in colour.It is oily and immediately indicates the potentials of the cigar. The pre-draw is woody.The draw has a slight variations. Same thing about burn as well. No correction required but it is not 100% straight. It is full bodied from the very beginning.It slowly gives heavy flavors of dark wood and fallen leaves with entertaining pepper shots.The price is quite prohibitive. at the same time i don’t feel the need to smoke this kind of cigar daily.

The Cohiba Maduro 5 simply say ” Smoke me”. It is darker in color than most of the Cuban cigars because of 5 years of natural fermentation. It is very rich.The draw is never too tight but the burn line is not always 100% straight.The flavor are very rich and profound.The price is bit too high. I can’t afford more than 3-5 a year.Power and elegance at the same time,Cohiba Maduro 5 is truly seducing.Its a must try cigar.

Just back from Cuba with Maduros 5 Genios and Esplendidos. Must say the Maduros are the nicest so far. But who was it said the cigars have suffered from Soicalism? At least in Cuba it is the small people who benefit, I hope, and not the big corps…? Will it stay the same?
