The 5 Best Maduro Cigars You Haven’t Tried

Deliciously dark, smooth, and known for their natural mellow sweetness, Maduro cigars are the product of patient fermentation and aging. As the saying goes, “Good things come to those who wait,” and it goes without saying that Maduro smokes offer a unique and rewarding experience. Here are a few excellent ones that you may have missed in 2024.

Crowned Heads Coroneta Maduro

Hailing from the legendary Casa Carrillo factory in the Dominican Republic, the maduro-wrapped version of Nashville-based Crowned Heads Cigars’ Coroneta delivers regal taste in each smooth draw. Comprised of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, Ecuadorian Connecticut binder, and choice fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Pennsylvania, this medium-full-bodied blend unveils dark delicacies of earth, chocolate, and leather in its majestic procession of balanced flavors.

Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco

Celebrate the 55th anniversary of the distinguished Joya de Nicaragua cigar company with the rich pleasures of the Cinco de Cinco. Drawing its indulgent flavors from a recipe of intense Nicaraguan binder and filler leaves tempered by a smooth San Andrés wrapper, this excellent anniversary cigar gushes with decadence, stirring the sense with deep impressions of earth, dark chocolate, coffee, and subtle spices.

Chillin’ Moose Bull Moose Maduro

Masterfully built from 100% Nicaraguan Habano tobaccos, the Chillin’ Moose Bull Moose Maduro charges the palate with dense, full-bodied flavor. Strong and smooth in a range of big-ring vitolas, these thick sticks serve up a commanding blast of toasty cedar, earth, red pepper, and more.

Kristoff PCA 2023 Signature Series

A box-pressed Toro finished with a pigtail cap, the Kristoff PCA 2023 Signature Series was availed exclusively to attendees of the 2023 cigar trade show, and we’re glad we were there to capture it. Beautifully wrapped in brilliant Brazilian Maduro, this short-run smoke incorporates high-pedigree tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua to create its compelling, full-bodied character and palate-coating tones of earth, cedar, cashew, and white pepper,

Caldwell Long Live The Queen Maduro

Sophisticated in its dark charms, the Maduro-wrapped version of Caldwell’s Long Live The Queen is an exercise in refined complexity. Medium-full in strength, this union of Sumatra binder around select Dominican and U.S. filler leaves exudes notes of earth, espresso, cedar, and spices for an impressively layered tasting experience.
