COMMENTS: Probably the best crafted cigar that I have smoked. The Macanudo's look is almost flawless, the draw was perfect throughout, and the ash probably would never have fallen off. But, Macanudo's have a strange taste. I know people who absolutely love the taste, but personally I feel the cigar tastes like dirt.
