The Cohiba Maduro 5 Mágicos opens with a bold and intense presence, wrapped in a richly oily maduro leaf that immediately reveals notes of peat and red pepper. The cold draw introduces light wood, leather, and bread, complemented by a generous—sometimes nearly too generous—draw.
From the first puffs, the cigar feels almost heavy, gradually settling into a deeper, more accessible profile. Seductive roasted cocoa flavors mingle with elegant hints of cedar and pronounced red pepper as the first third unfolds. The strength is evident but expertly controlled.
In the second third, bitter cocoa intensifies alongside evolving notes of oak bark, dry peat, and a subtle metallic touch. Despite the growing complexity, the cigar maintains a well-balanced body.
The final third introduces animalic undertones, along with aromas of red pepper, dry earth, and peat, culminating in a virile and robust finish. The crescendo of strength is masterfully managed throughout.
A coherent and commanding cigar, the Cohiba Maduro 5 Mágicos is tailored for the experienced—and discerning—aficionado with a taste for bold, masculine flavors.
