This is the third Mag 48 I have smoked and I am really liking them... alot.
Looks:
There is something about the double band on such a small cigar in addition to the beautifully dark wrapper that really gets me. For me there is no better looking cigar 5/5
Construction:
Long ash, in general very good draw. The one I smoked tonight was ever so slightly too tight. 4.5/5
Flavour:
This is where I am most impressed. Take your Mag 46 then add a tad extra subtle spiciness and kick to it and you have your 48. A lover of the 46, this brings the Upmann to a whole new level for me. For those who do not know Upmann, my description would be a light/medium cigar with cocoa flavours and some papery/toasty flavour vearing to leather and espresso later on. Take that, add a bit of extra oriental spiciness and nicotine kick and you have the 48. 4.5/5
Overall:
If you didn't notice by now, I dig this cigar. Its a bit small, but unlike most cigars, from my point of view, I can smoke it right till I burn my finger tips. If you are in search of a short 30-40 min smoke, I do not think you can do better. If I had the money, I'd buy 3-4 boxes. 4.5/5

don't often hear people discussing this marque. Drowned out by the loud Cohiba/Partgas crowd
