Adrian Magnus Cigars sent me this cigar for review.
Initial Thoughts
According to Adrian Magnus, the XO Cognac is the “combination of premium tobacco and Hennessy XO Cognac,” and each cigar has been aging for 12 years.
The cigar looks great, but is it worth $20? Let’s smoke it and find out!

Final Thoughts
I was able to smoke the Adrian Magnus XO Cognac for 80 minutes, a bit short for a toro. If you’re unsure about this cigar being “infused,” don’t be – you can’t really taste any cognac. Maybe they should say it was aged in a cognac barrel – that would be more appropriate.
That said, don’t let the “infused” part keep you away from the Adrian Magnus XO Cognac. This cigar is good, though expensive. The Adrian Magnus XO Cognac earns a CigarScore 5.
