Ken Gargett Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 they've been out for 12 years. i am going to guess that secretos might take this, genios next and then magicos. i'll confess a while since i have had a magicos but had an original genios and an undefined secretos lately. loved them both. but the genios for me.
JohnS Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Yes, Secretos just ahead of the Genios from my experience. However, I've had a lot more aged than youthful varieties and sometimes they surprise you. In fact, I caught up with Trevor Leask, the founder of Cuban Cigar Website this week and we had a Magicos from 2008. I can safely say that that was the best Linea Maduro 5 cigar (so named because the maduro wrapper is aged 5 years) I've had so far.
Toast & Taste Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 I find that the Secretos deliver better in their youth than the other two, and maybe that's down to the vitola. I prefer Genios though, with a bit of age. Big Al
Lotusguy Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 I’d rather smoke a Gurkha than any Cohiba Maduro. 4
havanaclub Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Genios for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
OldEasy Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Haven’t had a Magicos, and they don’t particularly appeal to me, so i probably won’t. Only had 1 Genios and thought it was beautiful and tasted great, but had some construction issues and under normal circumstances too expensive to smoke regularly or for the cigar it is. Out of the secretos I have smoked: all smoked well, all were good though rarely great, and relatively consistent in both flavor and construction. All were also ugly as sin. So, a bit of a toss up, but I felt like there was some potential to that one Genios that was missing from the secretos I’ve had, so that’s the way I voted. Maybe over a larger sample size I would change my mind.
earthson Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Magicos. Logic would suggest the Magicos is just a shorter Genios, but the blend appears to be different.
alloy Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Genios here. Smoked through a box of Magicos and thought I should have bought a box of robustos instead. Do like the Genios.
shippers Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Only had a young Secretos it was quite harsh. Waiting for the others to age.
