Cohiba Genios or Magicos

[MiamiE]

Which do you prefer and why?

 

[smelvis]

Genios It all in the size on this one, I taste no difference just like a bigger smoke for the buck.

I've had one of each and I much preferred the Magicos. The flavors "popped" a little more with the Magicos. The Genios was a little mellower with subtler flavors and didn't do much for me.

I'm not a Maduro 5 fan in general though. I will take almost any other Cohiba over them.

I've heard the Magicos are the better of the two, but I wanted to hear some other opinions. Thanks guys.

I prefer the genios vs the magicos....

Ive had samples of all 3 multy times. Magicos then genios then secretos in that order. Had a 08 box of magicos and they were amazing. Quality of boxes varies tremendously.

The Magicos that Justin had in '09 were awesome. Cocoa bombs

 

[reliefdvm]

the genios get my vote. I love the chocolate.

 

[orangedog]

only had the genios and the secretos, so can't help too much

but I will say the genios need more time, so magicos somewhere probably in the middle. genios are excellent - had one this morning courtesy of Nickerson... great deep flavors.

I prefer the secretos to the reyes

sorry no input on the magicos

Is it true that these taste a lot more like Nicaraguans than the rest of the Cuban cigar offerings? I've heard that from multiple people.

Genios ... Flawlessly Constructed & terrifically balanced.

Hard to make a choice which to try first when opinions go both ways . . . guess I have to get couple of both :bouncetau

eh, strikes me more as a Dominican maduro, like a mild Hemingway maduro. I can see the Nicaraguan comparison, but its no Tatuaje/Viaje/DPG/etc.

 

[U-Boat Commander]

They taste nothing like a Nicaraguan cigar. If anything, they are most similar to CC LEs.

 

[maverickdrinker]

got a 10 pack of magicos on the way to try...

I only had the Genios twice and they were both amazing.
