Bdawg says: Macanudo which is owned by General Cigar Company, is known for its smooth and mild temperament. Not the 1968. This one is advertised as the Macanudo with Gusto. I'll say! Unfortunately I would describe it as harsh! The wrapper is dark, dark brown. The draw is a little dry, producing a volumous cloud of smoke. The ash grey and dingy. The flavor is hard to define because of the harshness, very strong and peppery. The burn is even and medium paced. I will be sticking to the regular Macanudos from now on.
