Disappointing (To say the least) Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios

[Smallclub]

Maduro 5 line ... I can't and will never be convinced that these are a cohiba ...

Agree, although that doesn't make it a bad cigar? too pricey, lacking depth, etc. but I can understand how some people like them?

Thats probably part of the problem there, try dry boxing your other one before smoking and seeing if it makes any difference

Cheers, will give it a go. How long would you reckon ?

Im glad this thread popped up, one of my first cigars and first ever Cohiba, I was left wondering what all the fuss was about!

Don't let me put you off Cohiba's Stevey, in general they're a great smoke, I've just got the hump with them at the moment . I've still got a few in the humi I'm looking forward to sampling. Value for money is a totally different discussion as far as Cuban v non Cuban is concerned and is down to the individual.

I do like a Cohiba but could never afford to take the plunge on some of the sticks. I tend to spend ?6-15 on anyone stick as a rule. Budgets have to dictate sadly.
But I cannot fault the Siglo II for the price.

I generally love maduros and couldn't wait to try one of these. I was really disappointed too. The flavour just wasn't what I was expecting and given the premium I was expecting so much more than it delivered. It had a really tight draw to it too. To be honest, I've had better maduros for 1/6 the cost of the Cohiba. I thought I must have had a 'bad one' so bought another, from another source but I'm gonna let it rest a little while.

Will be a good while before the other one I have is seeing the flame Rob.
