    I've had both. So far, I prefer the maduro. The habano tasted just a little too rough for me (letting them rest for a bit). The maduro, though, was quite the treat. It was like a nice bittersweet cocoa mousse. Rich and smooth.

    I've had both. The maduro was ok. Not bad, not great. If you like maduros then you might like it more. My tastes have migrated away from them though in the past year. It takes a really special maduro to interest me now. The habano however just might be my next box purchase. I get a very solid red pepper flavor and it has a fantastic aroma.

    my thoughts exactly, I used to be in love with maduros. Now I find myself liking them less and less and migrating towards other wrappers, especially cameroon and sumatra.

    Ive had the maduro and the habano and tend to agree that the habano is a bit better, but I had it ROTT a few months ago. I got the gordo maduros too, but havent tried it. Gave one to my friend who runs the B&M and he said he really liked it. Looking forward to trying them again when it gets warmer with more rest.

    I had all 3 this past week. The Conny is really good too believe it or not! I liked the Habano and the Maduro about the same. The Maduro was a bit smoother, burned absolutely perfect. The Habano did not really kick in flavor wise until about half way, but when it did, it was really good. For some reason, not sure why, the Habano lasted much longer than the box pressed Maduro did. Both were Churchills.

    the habano is honestly one of the best dinner pairing cigars I have ever had. I really like them anytime, but during a big steak dinner (especially a ribeye) this cigar goes to a whole new level.

    They are, that's why they aren't on Ccom's site and are only available by phone.
