On opening a new tin the aroma is an interesting one, a light, delicate aroma of hay, honey with a trace of cloves. Its a fine ribbon cut, quality brown & light tobacco. Easy to pack the bowl properly, promising an even smoke all the way through. Burns easily & smoothly with most of the flavour in the first part of the smoke. Thereafter you need to smoke sensitively to get those delicate flavours to come through, so chuggers will not get anything out of this tobacco! In my view it is a good early morning, reflective mood, smoke - in a properly cleaned pipe! You have to smoke it gently to get the nose from it. A tobacco for the experienced & knowledgable pipe smoker I think.

This was a wonderful find. I love my Partagas Serie D no 5 but it gets expensive if you fancy one every day. I found this to be a perfect substitute. Here you dont get a Cuban but you get the best out of 3 areas a Nicaraguan and Honduran tobacco long filler, then finished with an Ecuadorian shade wrapper(hence the light colour). It is well made, the wrapper is of good quality and stayed together for the full time of the smoke which was just under an hour. It had a very even burn all the way to the end. The 1st 3rd was light cedar woody notes with a perfect amount of sweetness and it has a fabulous draw. Things got a bit more intence as the cedar and earthy note has taken over with the sweetness although still present falling to the background. The last 3rd is the gamechanger here as all of a sudden we are talking flavours and smells of cedar, earthiness, amerrican white oak and on the last few draws choccolate with a peppery finish. A perfect smoke for any time of the day.

Ok so never having a cohiba before so take this with a pinch of salt but I found this very enjoyable lasted me about 5-10 minutes had a nice little nicotine buzz from an accidental inhale but still smoked nicely definitely will get another one

Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios Cigar - 1 Single
by Andrew
Smoked one of these that was gifted to me back in 2011. Wow.....beautiful cigar. I dont have a direct reference point as it was my first of the Maduro 5s but as a stand alone Cohiba it was exceptional. The sweetness on the palate was immense but beautifully balanced.....there is no substitute for age and quality. One small negative was that the second third burned slightly uneven and I had to re-light a few times but that could have been down to my personal management. I wouldnt hesitate to buy a box of these even at the current prices.

For the price this is a fantastic cigar, I bought one of these in my last small order. I was on the hunt for a cheaper mid week smoke to save my MontecristoÂ’s for my after dinner smoke on Sundays. I first encountered this cigar around 5 years ago in johns tobacconist Newquay. Back then it was £4.99 and although itÂ’s by no means a match for the mighty Monte no.4 it is for the price a nice 50 min smoke, it is mild in strength and offers a lot for such a small price tag. Very well constructed with nice strong ash that will stand strong at 1 1/2”, the draw is very light but it still burns cool and slow with a nice even burn. When people complain about the rapper unraveling on cigars I always wonder wether theyÂ’re storing them at the IÂ’ve just ordered another 10 to test consistency before I take the plunge on a full box. Give it a try youÂ’ll be very surprised!
IÂ’ve given this cigar a 5⭐️ Based purely on bang for buck!
