The big news this summer has been the arrival in selected markets of the new Cohiba Maduro 5 range of cigars. It marks the first new range of cigars for the premium Cuban brand for fifteen years.and reflects the current trend to “down size” cigars in the light of anti-smoking legislation.

However what the cigars may lack in actual size is compensated by sheer quality and complexity. With such fanciful names as “Secret”, “Magic” and “Genius” one may tempted to under estimate their impact but for my money – and they are expensive – we are looking at arguably the finest Maduros yet produced by Habanos ! Their alluring, dark and distinctive wrappers have been aged for no less than five years and this factor undoubtedly holds the key to their appeal.

Cohiba Maduro 5 "Genios" - Cuba (5.5 inches x 52 ring gauge) rrp £23.00

While the larger “Genios“ is a masterpiece of refinement. Slow burning, rich and seductive these cigars add a new dimension to Cohibas. Worth every penny if you can afford them !
