Oh yeah, I've smoked countless maduros - have been a cigar junkie for almost 20 years - but the last few years I really lost my taste for maduros and have been heavily into sun grown and cameroon wrapped smokes. I've recently been toying with maduros again and those I listed at the bottom of my first post were close but not quite what I was hoping for. I used to smoke (many years back) the Onyx 852. Man, what a great smoke that was - before they came out with the reserve line. Those old original Onyx cigars were super earthy and rich. Not as smooth as the reserves of today but they had much more character. A cigar that tasted more like earthy spice (not pepper) wrapped in chocolate. They didn't have that strong "Cigar" taste but rather a milder incense-like taste like you get when smoking an Illusione Holy Lancero.

Not just
any good maduro, but one bearing these qualities is what I seek
