49 x 5 1/2 ring
Wrapper: Maduro
Binder: Mexico
Filler: Dominican / Mexico
Info: It was introduced in 1999 with wrapper grown in the Andres Tuxtla valley in Mexico. It is Mac anudo verison of a medium to full stick with a dark Maduro wrapper.
Appearance: A very dark, almost black wrapper with some small veins. Very firmly packed cigar with a black, gold and white wrapper. It appears to be a full bodied smoke.
The Smoke: I pull out my punch and trustee Vector Tizo blow torch. Initial reaction, a very poor draw so I pull out my cutter to see if I can get a better draw. Not much for flavor what so ever and a mild Maduro. I am not impressed at all. After 45 minutes I had enough.
Review: Macanudo is a name that brings back memories of when I first starting smoking. I think every virgin smoker has had a Macanudo. Unfortunately this stick does not live up to those memories. I love a nice Maduro stick like CAO Brazilia one of my favorite sticks. This maduro did not even come close. I guess if you never smoke a maduro cigar and are not used to something medium to full, this might be a cigar to bridge that gap. This is definitely a one and done smoke. Do not waste your money when there are much better maduro cigars.
