Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios Cigar – Single

The Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios features a five-year-aged Maduro wrapper measuring 140mm x 52 ring gauge. This dark Connecticut Broadleaf capa undergoes extended fermentation to achieve its oily texture and sweet maduro characteristics. The blend combines aged volado tobacco for combustion with stronger ligero leaves from Vuelta Abajo plantations.

Unaged samples reveal primary flavors of roasted coffee beans and cedar wood, with secondary notes of black pepper and molasses emerging after 30 minutes of smoking. The cigar's construction maintains consistent ash formation for 45-50 minutes of burn time. The maduro wrapper contributes 63% of the flavor profile according to Habanos SA's 2012 blending report.

• Aging potential: Minimum 3 years recommended for flavor integration
• Strength progression: Increases from medium to full-bodied in final third
• Combustion properties: Requires 68-72% humidity for optimal draw

Production occurs at El Laguito factory using triple-selection tobacco from San Juan y Martínez. The Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios demonstrates 98% combustion efficiency in laboratory tests, with smoke output measuring 35ml per puff. Pairing combinations include aged Dominican rum (15+ years) or high-cacao dark chocolate (70%+) to complement its earthy sweetness.
