Description

The Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios, elegantly presented in a cedar box of 25, originates from Havana’s prestigious El Laguito factory as a cornerstone of the 2007 Línea Maduro 5 series, distinguished by its rare five-year-aged maduro wrapper from Vuelta Abajo—complemented by three-year-aged binder and filler tobaccos for unparalleled depth. This robusto extra vitola, precisely 140 mm (5½ inches) long with a 52 ring gauge, offers medium-to-full body across a luxurious 50-60 minute smoke, boasting flawless construction, silky draw, razor-sharp burn, and dense, aromatic clouds.​Ignition unleashes a seductive overture of dark chocolate, caramel, espresso, liquorice root, and cinnamon warmth, swiftly joined by creamy mocha, bourbon vanilla, toasted hazelnuts, and subtle graphite earthiness in the opening third. The midsection harmonises with polished cedar, dried fig sweetness, nutmeg, and balsamic leather, culminating in a finale of mature tobacco richness, black pepper zest, and lingering cocoa afterglow. Launched to acclaim, this powerhouse—less ferocious than standard Genios—rewards seasoned aficionados post-meal with aged rum, peaty whisky, or double espresso, reaching sublime equilibrium after 18-24 months’ humidor maturation. A masterful fusion of potency, elegance, and indulgence.
