The verdict
The Cohiba Maduro 5 Magicos is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Cohiba's Maduro 5 line. It's a Cuban magicos (robusto) wrapped in Cuban (Maduro) at 4.5 in × 52.
On the palate, expect cocoa, coffee, and cedar, leaning sweet. Plan on roughly 50 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum, and port. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Magicos is the middle size in Cohiba's Maduro 5 line — a short, fat robusto on a 52 ring gauge. Like the rest of the line (Cohiba's only Cuban maduro, launched in 2007), it's wrapped in a dark leaf aged five years, which gives a sweeter, deeper spin on the classic Havana blend.
What it tastes like
The stubby format packs a lot of cool smoke and concentrated flavor into a shorter session. Expect cocoa, coffee, and cedar layered with dark fruit and a sweet, gentle spice from the aged maduro wrapper. It's medium-to-full and rich, but smoother and rounder than the dark color might suggest.
Who it's for
A satisfying pick for experienced smokers who love maduro and don't always have time for a long cigar. Pair it with an espresso, an aged rum, or a port. New to dark wrappers? Our Maduro vs Connecticut guide explains how they differ from pale Connecticut leaf.
As with all Cohibas, buy from a trusted source to avoid fakes, and store at proper humidity. Log the ones worth repeating in your humidor with the Casa DNC app.
