Just smoked through my last Casa Magna from a 5er I purchased awhile back in 2009. While many were totally confused as to why CA gave this one top honors, I was in total agreement. When considering everything this stick brought to the table as far as price, flavor, and aging ability; it scored very high in my book. So lets see the specs,......

Appearance:
Doesn't get much more beautiful than this. It has a dark brown super juicy, oily wrapper. There aren't too many cigars with a more oilier wrapper than this (except Gomez' Small Batches). Very small veins almost non existent.

Construction:
Epic construction is all I got to say. I don't if I got the best 5 pack in the world or what, but I never touched up a single cigar. Good touch of tightness to the cigar, with flawless draw. Burns razor sharp all the way tot he nub.

Flavor:
Has the nuances I like when a cigar gets some age on it. Pure Nica flavors on the light with a mild peppery blast and then sets cruise control to leather, nutmeg, and black tea land. I love black tea in my cigars, and it's rare to find it in a cigar so young.

Value:
It's $5. That's all I'm going to say.

Overall:
These have been the best five cigars I have ever smoked in the price range. The flavors are not in your face, but are not thin neither. It's more of a medium bodied smoke at this point. The only competition out there I have had at the same price is the Oliva Serie V Belicoso. I've also smoked new Casa Magnas recently, but they don't bring the enjoyment that these did with the age on them.

These are very good, these remind me of the Xikar Habano Colorado. The Oscuro version (sad to say) is not better.

I just had one of these the other night and I agree with you. This is a great cigar, but needs a couple of years to reach this stage.
