Flavor Profile & Smoking Experience

The Maduro 5 Magicos begins with a dark, rich presentation and evolves into a flavorful smoke:

• Early third: You’ll notice dark chocolate, sweet caramel, toasted nuts and the hallmark Maduro richness.

• Middle third: Transition into woody and leathery notes, with pepper spice, espresso and subtle salty peanut undertones.

• Final third: The profile deepens — rich earth tones, a creamy texture, lingering sweetness and strong finish.

The cigar is well-constructed, generally with a good draw if stored and prepared properly. Some aficionados suggest letting it rest a year or two post‐box date for best results.

Why Choose This Cigar

• Highly distinctive wrapper: The Maduro leaf aged for five years gives this line a unique flavor signature within the Cohiba portfolio.

• Premium craftsmanship: Made in Cuba with high-quality long-filler tobacco and meticulous rolling.

• Great format: At 52 ring gauge and ~4½″ length, it’s substantial yet manageable — excellent for serious sessions without requiring the largest vitola size.

• Collector & connoisseur appeal: This is a cigar for those who know their habanos and appreciate nuanced complexity and craftsmanship.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

• Pair with: Aged rum, single malt whisky, espresso or dark stout craft beer — the richness and dark flavour notes of the cigar will complement all of these.

• Storage tips: Keep the cigar in a humidor at ~65-70% relative humidity and around 18-21 °C.

• Smoking advice: Because of the rich flavour and sizeable gauge, take slow, measured puffs to avoid overheating and allow the flavors to evolve.

• Ageing potential: Although pleasing fresh, further rest in the humidor can enhance smoothness and integrate flavours even more deeply.
