Man O’ War Dark Aged Maduro Robusto is one of the harder-to-find cigars in the extensive Man O’ War lineup. Making its debut in 2013, Man O’ War Dark Aged Maduro was originally intended for sale only at brick and mortar stores. Thankfully, however, it eventually made its way to online retailers and became a bit more accessible to cigar lovers everywhere. Dark Aged Maduro consists of a bold filler and binder blend of all Nicaraguan tobaccos wrapped in an Ecuadorian Habano Maduro leaf. The recipe is simple but includes nothing but extensively aged high-priming leaves harvested for their richness and strength.
Dark, oily, and rolled with extreme precision, Man O’ War Dark Aged Maduro is clothed with the standard Man O’ War band and a thin foot band indicating the blend. A smooth draw produces gigantic plumes of thick, creamy smoke, offering a bold, spicy opening. The initial blast of pepper soon turns sweet, as hints of cocoa, cedar, and espresso come to the surface. A constant dark chocolate flavor beautifully complements the woody, earthy undertones throughout the duration of the cigar. A sweet, nutty finish completes the complex flavor profile beautifully. Full-bodied, eventful, and slow-burning, Man O’ War Dark Aged Maduro is truly a cigar worth searching for.
Many Man O’ War offerings are great sticks for beginners and intermediate smokers. For Dark Aged Maduro, this isn’t the case. Only the most experienced and discriminating connoisseurs will be pleased to appreciate all the depth and complexity this stick has to offer. As a full-bodied Maduro cigar, Dark Aged Maduro pairs well with black coffee, tawny port, or dark rum. Sizable and somewhat intimidating, this 5” x 52 Robusto is sized for a long, relaxing smoking experience. Wondering if this cigar is right for you? If you enjoy powerful Maduros such as Camacho Triple Maduro, CAO Brazilia, or Padron Maduro, chances are you won’t want to skip over Dark Aged Maduro. Truly a hidden gem in a massive sea of boutique cigars, Man O’ War Dark Aged Maduro Robusto is a Maduro lover’s dream come true.
