Bad draw from start to finish. After having the same experience with the first two cigars I threw the rest out.

Love this cigar. The flavor is just right. Not heavy and not to light . It draws well and the smoke has a good aroma.

good smoke

Was a great long and slow smoke. The draw stayed consistent throughout. Definitely would purchase again.

Good full body smoke

Hard draw, fowl last third.

I've smoked two so far on the golf course and had a draw problem with both. Had to re-light almost every hole. Nice rich flavor, but frustrating.

Great

it had a nice mild flavor and easy to draw the burn was slow and even.

Good

have been smoking Mac's for over 30 yrs

enjoy a cigar to relax Enjoy the aroma and taste

This is the Macanudo I always look for.

Received this in a premium sampler. I enjoyed this smoke immensely. My only complaint was that about 1/3 of the way through, the wrapper came a little loose. This was my first torpedo, but I think I got a good cut using a double-bladed guillotine. Other than that. Outstanding. Great mouthfeel. Consistent burn. Beautiful ash. Nice flavor without being overwhelming. I'd definitely revisit this cigar.

I was excited to get this in Thompson's Shameless Bribe Sampler pack. It was my understanding that Macanudo is one of the top premier manufacturers in the world. I learned a good lesson: Sometimes a reputation is just a reputation. The Torpedo wrapper appeared flawless, and the Torpedo shape was comfortable to hold and smoke. It lit easily, and the first 1/3 was wonderful, other than some uneven burning, which got worse as the smoke progressed. The flavor was nice and neutral, not sweet, and not bitter, and just a little tart, with overtones of fresh ground black pepper. It had a nice draw, and I was really enjoying the smoke up to this point. The problems really kicked in on the second 1/3rd of the smoke. The runners became so bad that I was having to re-lite one side of it after every 3 or 4 puffs. Just before it reached the last 1/3rd, the cigar became totally plugged, and went out. The damage was irreparable, so I did not get to finish the smoke. I had high hopes for this cigar, and I expected a lot better from a company with Macanudo's reputation. I am hoping that maybe this was just a factory glitch. Only time will tell.......because it will be awhile before I try another Macanudo.

Maybe I'm spoiled due to the fact that my go to cigar of choice being any Padron, preferably the 1964. To me, this cigar was just average. The first third was a cool snoke, medium simple peppery flavor. The flavors became stronger and more harsh during the second and last third until I eventually put it down. Possibly one bad stick out of a bundle.

I liked the easy draw and smooth medium bodied flavor. Burns evenly and has a cool finish, not harsh at all.
