Agreed. I got my first of these in a blind tasting and was surprised by the quality. It's no Padron but the price makes it a great everyday maduro. As PapaJohn notes, they're much better with some age on them.

CAO gold maduro and RP vintage 92 fits the profile you seek imo.

Fuente 858 Maduro is one of favorites and it won't break your pocket book.

6000 Padron Maduro
Taboo Maduro
Oliva G maduro
Sancho Panza Double Maduro

Any of these are pretty good...

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

longknocker · 10-22-2008, 04:58 AM

Partagas Black, Sancho Panza Double Maduro, or Rocky Patel Edge Maduro. You will like at least one of these!

Just finished an El Mejor Espresso that pretty much fit the description above for me.

Camacho Triple Maduro should get you where you want to be

macpappy · 10-23-2008, 10:50 AM

CAO MX2

I just finished a Kristoff Maduro Torpedo and it was really enjoyable. Smoked one about 11 months ago and it was only so-so but after almost a year's rest it has really come into it own.

[quote=Jimmy Robusto;23768]Looking for suggestions. Which maduro stick would you recommend? I want that rich, chocolaty, slightly sweet taste, earthy and incense-like but not terribly spicy...But not really mild either...

Well as far as I'm concerned the flavors your looking for are definitely in the Padron 1964 series. At the risk of sounding like a rich jerk (which I'm not)...the 1926 80th anniversary was an awesome delivery system of these flavors but good luck finding them and even better luck finding a friend who will treat you to one.
I also think that the CAO maduro will have what you're looking for and it's a little cheaper than the 1964 series. I'm surprised you said the Onyx Reserve didn't give you what you were hoping for.
