About this cigar
Cohiba Magicos — tasting notes and pricing context
The Cohiba Maduro 5 line was launched in 2007 as the brand's first foray into maduro wrappers — a dark, oily leaf aged for five years before being applied to the cigar (where Cohiba's standard line uses a roughly 18-month-aged wrapper). The Magicos is the most-traded of the three Maduro 5 vitolas — a 4.5-inch Robusto Extra at a 52 ring, sized for an hour-long after-dinner smoke. The blend is the same medio tiempo-enriched filler as the standard Cohiba line, but the long-aged maduro wrapper changes the flavour register dramatically.
The smoke is darker, sweeter and more chocolate-forward than any other Cohiba. First third opens with dark cocoa, espresso and a touch of dark earth; the middle drifts into leather, dried fruit and a whisper of black pepper; the last third delivers a long, sweet finish that aficionados often compare to dark chocolate paired with vintage port. Smoking time runs 55 to 70 minutes. The Maduro 5 is allocated tightly — Cohiba ships only ~2 boxes a year per LCDH stockist — so European pricing is high and price-volatile: Noblego runs around €820 per box of 10, Cigarmust CHF 920 (~€965 after FX). Price-drop alerts here pay off particularly when a stockist restocks a previously-OOS box.
