General Cigar announces today that the company has modernized the design of its iconic Macanudo logo for the U.S. market. Beginning on January 15, 2016, Macanudo Café, Macanudo Maduro, Macanudo Crü Royale and Macanudo 1968 and will feature the brand’s new look.
Macanudo Gold Label is an annual release for General Cigar, and 2023 is no different, this time with a limited edition size available this year only. The 2023 Macanudo Gold Label will ship to retailers between May 1 and July 31, 2023 or until this year’s allotment has been depleted. It will come in 8 sizes, including the “Golden Nugget” which is a new, limited edition created exclusively for 2023.
Macanudo has announced another extension to their Inspirado line: Red. This is said to be the bolder of the inspirado line and offers a harmony of volcanic soil and hardcore aging techniques.
"This is one of those cigars that might create problems with some smokers. The flowery ash and uneven burn might cause some to relight it too many times. This would change the flavor profile for most. If they can get past all of this they might enjoy the smoking experience. All that being said, this cigar is a “Don’t judge a book by its cover” kind of cigar. You should try it out and see what you think." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)
Macanudo Gold Label is coming back for its annual release in May. This time will be the brand’s 20th anniversary and with it comes a new limited edition size available this year only, a 6 x 52 Gran Pyramid.
M by Macanudo first launched in 2018 as a coffee infused cigar from General Cigar. Since then, the line has seen the addition of Espresso and Bourbon flavors. Now, the company is added three new flavors to the mix: French Vanilla, Dark Rum and Mint Cocoa.
Macanudo (General Cigar) has announced a second limited-edition cigar in the Inspirado line. The first limited Inspirado was the Macanudo Inspirado Brazilian Shade from 2021. The Macanudo Inspirado Jamao gets its name from a proprietary wrapper grown on a network of tobacco fields in the Northwestern Dominican Republic.
General Cigar has a new Macanudo cigar coming out next month, and it's a new addition to their Inspirado line. The name for Macanudo Inspirado Tercio Aged comes from the technique of tercio aging.
"Overall, this was an excellent cigar. The flavors were excellent, and the texture of the smoke was perfect. The draw could have been a little better, but still very good. All in all, I would most definitely smoke this cigar again, and I’m curious to see what it turns out to be." -Angel M. (Angel)
"Wow! This was a fantastic cigar! The cigar really didn't show its true colors until the second third, but that's fine. In the second third I got that wonderful creamy/buttery flavors. Then in the final third every other sip the cigar really surprised me with earthy tones (no spice) of wood then followed up with cream and butter. This is definitely a box purchase in my future. Would love to pair this with morning coffee as my first cigar of the day..... I'd go even further and say it could be my last cigar of the day too." -Mickey T. (irratebass)
