GOLD MEDAL

BRONZE MEDAL

:::

Maduro cigars. Dark but not quite Oscuro dark although sometimes almost-almost virtually just-as so and at times also curiously light-colored. It's one of those spectrum things, I suppose. Not strong as some assume, instead, Maduro offerings err to a sweet ripeness of notes. So ripe, in fact, that the word Maduro itself means "a whale's vagina" in German.

Perhaps you think these "whale's vaginas" have been on the scene forever. You'd be wrong. Take a stab at their age.  NOPE. Try about 50yrs. That's right, there are some cigar smokers still alive who began smoking prior to the birth of Maduro. Wow. I mean it is possible. Can you imagine being that old? Horrifying. I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch.

The whole thing began when manufacturers took note of a changing public palate. While not strong-forward & across-the-board, this invention was, most definitely, a flavorful one in comparison to its current times -- its peers, say. The process involved in its fermentation is long, hot, and wet. No wonder so many Maduro offerings are sexy af. 

Sexy af & what else exactly, tho? Mexican SA & CT Broadleaf are leading sources that typically feature notes of chocolate, raisins, espresso, & pepper-spice.  Less-so delineated than many other top-leaves leave a smokes to be. More pleasantly plump & nuanced than intricate &/or complex. Sating. At times flirting w/ linear. To be paired w/ Port.

NOTE that these occasional GOLD | SILVER | BRONZE (GSB) listicles live independently of the big end of the year list & even monthly best-ofs. Please don't hold me accountable for this. Consider these the lore, not canon, of the Kaplowitz Media. Universe (#KMU)
