Black Ops Maduro

Black Ops Maduro is nothing like what you would expect. When you see the packaging and band, it can be, well, intimidating. When you look at the cigars themselves, you might think that they're ridiculously expensive. You'd be wrong on both counts.

Even though these sticks are ominously dark, clad in an oily Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper which surrounds Cuban-seed Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, this is not a pepper bomb. The flavors smack of espresso and cocoa, with some sweet spice. Even though the body is on the full side of medium, it delivers a lot of taste without overwhelming. Best of all, they're less than half the price of other comparable maduros.
