Cohiba Genios Maduro 5

One thing every true aficionado knows is that patience is a virtue, whether it’s with the smoke of a cigar or the curing of its very leaves. The wrapper on these cigars are cured for five years. That is what gives it such a beautifully dark brown hue and a matured taste. While it may look spicy and heavy, the extra time actually brings out the sweetness in this all-Cuban cigar.

It's a big robusto with big flavor and a medium-to-full body. While sweet, it also carries some earthy flavors of wood and leather which humble the smoke and bring it back down to its very place of origin. This smoke will definitely take a while to smoke. It burns nice and slow although it has an open draw due to its pristine construction from the expert torcedores (cigar rollers) in Cuba. This is a great one to enjoy with a smoky scotch or a spicy Bourbon since the sweetness will balance it out.
