I believe the CM5 only have 5 year old wrapper, with the binder and filler being 2 years old. quote: Originally posted by salibas007:
the 06 piramides are spectacular smokes... I don’t think you can really compare them to the CM5’s..I’m not saying they won’t be as good.. just different..
the CM5’s are rolled with 5 year old wrapper, binder and filler. I also believe they left the wrapper leaves on the trees for an extra week or 2.
On the other hand, the 2006 EL’s were rolled with 2 year old wrapper.. and back then they were still using fresh filler and binder…
this resulted in 2 cigars that have quite a different taste profile.
The MD5 has the deep flavour that a maduro should have.. it’s full bodied.. it’s earthy .. it’s got this heaviness to it..
the piramide on the other hand is more balanced.. it’s a powerful but creamy smoke.. somehow the aged wrapper and the young binder/filler balance themselves out to create this perfect harmony.
Although I have seen some very dark piramides, I have never seen some as dark as the MD5’s I have…

I have had the Genios and Magico's My sentiment towards these cigars is well known. Now i come to find my wife for fathers day has purchased a 10 box of secreto's for me. Ah well what can i do i guess i will have to try them as well. I will not be home till after father's day so she gave me the cigars early. I guess i will have to pretend i like them or maybe not maybe they will surprise me. I will keep you all posted.
