Brief Introduction:
The Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios was launched in 2007 as part of the Cohiba Maduro 5 series, marking the first time Habanos S.A. introduced Maduro-wrapped Cuban cigars. The Maduro 5 line features a dark, rich wrapper aged for five years, resulting in a deeply complex and smooth smoking experience.
As part of Cigars Europe’s Prestige Collection, the Maduro 5 Genios stands among the finest ultra-premium Cuban cigars, recognized for its exceptional craftsmanship, aging process, and unique Maduro wrapper, making it a true collector’s item.

Trivia:
✔ Pioneering Maduro Cigar: The Maduro 5 series was the first-ever Cuban cigar line to feature a fully Maduro wrapper, setting a new benchmark in the industry.
✔ 5-Year-Aged Wrappers: The unique Maduro wrappers are fermented longer and aged for five years, resulting in a naturally darker, sweeter leaf.
✔ Highly Coveted: Due to its rich, sweet complexity, the Genios remains one of the most sought-after Cohiba cigars, often compared to premium aged New World cigars but with true Cuban authenticity.
