Thanks to @ChefBoyRG54 Cohíba Genios Maduro 5. I smoked this after reading another thread regarding Cuban Maduros. This is an excellent smoke but I can certainly understand that it is not a real big hit with a CC purist. If I smoked this stick blind I would think I was smoking a very high quality Nicaraguan stick. I am not sure I would identify this smoke at all as a CC. Excellent smoke but not at all in the flavor profile I expect from a Cohiba or any other CC that I have smoked.

Very true Dave. Glad you enjoyed it, but my thoughts exactly. Which is why I wouldn't care if I never smoked another "Maduro" cuban cigar again... just not in my wheelhouse anymore.

@XYRNTX surprised me with five great smokes in the mail yesterday. So I chose the HDM Epi #2. Great burn even with this Texas breeze blowing out on the patio. Smoking only 10+ year old cigars I forgot how much I enjoy them fresh! Usually the only other time I get the pleasure is at the Lcdh in cozumel where the stock is always new. Might be time to start ordering again. Look what you started Xyrntx.....thanks :)
