Bdawg says: I understand why Macanudo is one of the top selling cigar brands. A light, cool pleasant smoke. Beautiful construction and consistent from one cigar to the next. Even, slow, cool burn. This is one cigar you ought to have in your humidor all the time. Cigar smokers enjoy them and even people who only smoke cigars occasionally will enjoy them, due to their mild yet flavorful smoke.

On a side note: Pay close attention to the libation you will be enjoying with your Macanudo. You don't want the drink to overpower the cigar. I usually smoke more full-flavored cigars and therefore typically lean towards drinks with bolder, fuller flavors as well... Guiness, cognac, coffee, port. However; when smoking a Macanudo I recommend you enjoy a lightly flavored beverage... Corona, or tequila for example. I happened to try a Samuel Adams Noble Pils which is their new seasonal beer. It was a perfect pairing. A bright, hoppy, slightly citrusy beer combined with the cool blue smoke of a Macanudo....perfecto!


Macanudo is owned by General Cigar Company.
