Cohiba Maduro Genios

[adic88]

Last night, Rehman Rashid asked me: how do you decide what cigars to buy? I suppose a few factors will influence my buying patterns. I will always buy the cigars i like, such as the Partagas Serie D No. 4, the HDM Epicure No. 2, the Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas. Then there are the cigars that i want to “try”, these sticks are not what i normally buy, but because they represent a departure from what i usually smoke, they are nice distractions to have everyone once in a while. Finally, there are the cigars that i buy because others tell me it’s good. And so it was with the Cohiba Maduro Genios, after a glowing recommendation from Rehman a month and half ago, was bought because someone i knew whose tastes i trust liked it too.

Great review , I have had 2 of these fellas in the last 6 months and found them absolutly superb. I do get the rich choclate and peppery tones. Very nice cigar.

Ditto on the post. One problem I've run into with the Maduro Genios seems to be construction. Already run into a couple where I had to attach the vacuum cleaner to my rear end in order to get a decent draw. Love the flavors, but a real bummer when no amount of cutting will allow you to get a nice smooth draw. Of course, after paying the price for these cigars, I just muscle through them - but someone needs to tell Cohiba to stop hiring the musclemen to roll the cigars and get rollers with a little finesse.

Great review.

I have a box of 10 Genios 'MGA MAY 10' sitting in my humidor and am looking forward to trying one on their one year anniversary date May' 11. That is if I can wait that long after reading your review.
