The El Mago Renegade Maduro is considered the strongest full-bodied smoke in the El Mago wheelhouse, delivering a potent yet full-bodied smoke with an overall tobacco sweetness accented with notes of spice and coffee. The cigar is handcrafted at the MGE Cigars Factory in Nicaragua and is expressed in a single 5.5 x 56 box-pressed robusto, offering notes of earth, coffee, spice, and a touch of sweetness. Rooted in the El Mago brand's profound heritage, the Renegade Maduro honors the memory of founder Nicholas Fusco's grandparents, Maria and Gonzalo Torre, who perished in the Champlain Towers collapse. Each cigar reflects the brand's Cuban-inspired tradition and is filled with the finest-aged tobacco for unparalleled quality. The cigars are individually encased in square metal tubos with 10 tubos in a box, reflecting El Mago's distinctive Miami Art Deco-inspired packaging aesthetic. Crafted for seasoned cigar smokers as well as novices looking to expand their smoking horizons, the Renegade generally performs well in terms of burn and draw, with the box-press contributing to a consistent burn requiring minimal touch-ups. Professional reviewers have awarded this cigar a 96 rating, praising its complex flavor evolution and exceptional construction quality.
