Cohiba Maduro 5 Secretos Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Friday 26 February, 2016 by Kevin

I purchased this after reading a review in the Cigar Scene monthly magazine. Initially I enjoyed it thoroughly with a nice aroma and a very good construction along with a lasting ash. I enjoyed this with a couple of cups of black Italian coffee. The flavours of wood, pepper and spices on the initial draw followed by a slightly bitter aftertaste of dark chocolate/cocoa. However, just after half way down the cigar became very bitter and sour. It was a real turn for the worse and I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me so I handed the cigar to my dad (he took a draw at the start to taste it) and he was shocked at how the cigar had changed flavour so quickly. At this price I feel like I paid £13 for half a cigar (a bit pricey). Overall I feel a bit disappointed that I had to give up, but the experience became simply unpleasant.
