El Presidente Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios Lovers are going to love them, haters are going to hate. The lovers don't mind at all. This is one polarising cigar. One polarising line extension.

Nevrknow Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Well my palate is mush compared to a lot of folks, but these things just never did it for me. Way too harsh, almost like an NC. I have only had 3 but each one had me asking " This is a Cohiba? " Really? And mine were from a trusted source. I would take a Sig l over these. And I pretty much have come to loathe those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madandana Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I’ve got a box from 2010. They’re pretty good but not a ton of flavor-surprising out of a Maduro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post benfica_77 Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 I might be a minority but I really like them...it's a very rich smoke with lots of flavour. Wonderful after dinner smoke. In my order of favourite cohibas It goes CoRo...Siglo VI and then Genios. I will want to reach for a CoRo more often but as a nice change of pace special cigar the Genios is awesome in my opinion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuroDiario Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I love love love Genios. I only have two left (MAR NOV 19) from a box I bought from my dear Tania in Asturias. What an absolute delight. Wish I had paced myself more strategically. Is there any inventory somewhere of these? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominattorney Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Had a great one as a single so bought a box. Every one of them (4) so far has been blah. For the price it's a crying shame and inexcusable. Hopefully age turns them around but the issue seems to be they're either under or over filled and flavors become muted or harsh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those are pretty close to sig I size 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connoisseur Kim Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I like the flavour profile of Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios, but I prefer other CCs such as Monte #1, CCE, and Connie A more since I find this CC too sweet toothed for my taste. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The only Maduro 5 I find enjoyable is the Secretos. I find the Magicos and Genios to be pretty similar. There's just something about them I don't love. Yes, high quality, flavorful etc. I bought a single Genios in June when they were still $25 and found myself getting over it by the final third. I got very bored with it. I found the Siglo VI and Esplendidos I had the following days both much more enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tstew75 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Absolutely not...too much muddled power Hell, I'd say Partagas Maduro are tastier at much less coin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edicion Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Always liked the Cohiba Maduro line. I find them to be high quality cigars, made with very good tobacco. The Genios can be around medium bodied, toasted dark chocolate notes, espresso coffee that's been sitting for a few hours, dark bready character, all with great construction and firm draw. The Magicos seem to be a bit more balanced overall but I prefer the Genios size. Wish I had more of these, the ones I have left I treat like a special occasion cigar nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBirdman Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The best Genios have a wonderful S'Mores flavor - chewy and delicious. Can't say I'll buy more though once my stock is depleted, like many Cohiba now they are nowhere close to a reasonable value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyHumpder Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 silky, silky smoke. rarely found with regular production cigars. an occasional qd50 will have it. the genios is a powerhouse. if a padron is a boom box turned up to 11, the genios is like listening to a hi-fi system with the finest headphones money can buy. don’t age them past 4-5 years. they lose everything that makes them great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
