The Maduro wrapper which coats these Cohiba cigars adds a slight sweet taste to the lips which compliments the complex aromas of toffee, hints of orange peel, herbs, honey, leather and oak of the Eagle Rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
Maduro 5 is heir to the best tradition of Cuban dark wrapper cigars (capa madura), which uses the upper leaves of the plant and obtains its characteristic range of dark colours and texture through a long, complex process of fully natural fermentation. This wrapper, enhanced by 5 years of ageing, is used in the Maduro 5 line, and grants unique characteristics to its three sizes.
Maduro 5 has its own unique image within the brand. The traditional Cohiba ring band has been complemented with a lower black stripe with the marking Maduro 5.
Eagle Rare is a bourbon that lives up to its name with its lofty, distinctive taste experience. Every barrel is discriminately selected to offer consistent flavour but with a seemingly individual personality. The taste is bold, dry and delicate with notes of candied almonds and very rich cocoa.
