Cohiba Maduros Line

This is a whole topic in and of itself, but this is a valid point. From my experience, and from what I've seen in the past years I've been involved in this hobby, this is what you deal with when getting into Cubans. The quality NCs out there simply do not have the variance in construction that CCs do. It is very easy to go back through the years and point out certain years where your risk of plugged or poorly constructed CCs is much greater than normal. Not so with NCs. Of course, NCs for the most part do not date their boxes, but even so, you just don't see the same types of problems with NC construction.
Even so...I'm still a "dark side" man myself. :headroll:

im not sure what the names of the maduros i smoked were, but one was a robusto size, another a bit slimmer than the esplendido. The shorter ones were a bit harsh at first and kinda heavy.
The longer ones were a bit smoother, but this could be due to overcoming my initial taster.
All in all, i enjoyed them, but they would not be my everyday smoke.

wow, a lot of mixed reviews there. some like em, some dont'
guess i'll have to decide for myself. i've not had a cc maduro.
This much i can say. of the handful or two of ccs that i've had, i've enjoyed all but one of them, and that one (MC#4) was more than likely due to the events and circumstances under which i smoked it; not the cigar itself. my most recent was a rafael gonzales lonsdale from '01 and it was magnificant. i didn't want it to end.
i've got a few other aged ccs that some fine brothers here ont he board have sent me and i cna't wait to try them.

Some time ago I received a few boxes of smokes from the man himself as a diplomatic gift.. been making my way through them fairly regularly have a few lying around I've kept to enjoy with friends and/or on special occasions.
Damn, what do you do for a living?

i have tried a few secretos and genios, for some reason i don't really like them..yet.
i'm thinking maybe they will get better with age (most likely), or maybe i just love the regular cohibas so much? i dunno what it is.
i won't give up on them though. i have made that mistake before. i had a few partagas and i did not like them, so i put partagas out of my smoking lineup. 6 months later i tried another and was floored! now partagas is one of my favorite brands..
i will give the cohiba maduros a few more shots before giving up on them.

The secretos are by far the best IMO. They've got this awesome chocolate graham cracker flavor, and some really nice black cherry undertones. Almost nowhere near any typical Habanos flavors, but a cool change-up. I wish they had stretched out the secretos into a lonsdale or a lancero, personally.
