Macanudo Maduro Diplomat

[PeeJay]

With its oscuro wrapper and chunky shape this cigar is a butch little tyke. Coming in at 4.5" x50 it contains a combination of Mexican and Dominican fillers with a US wrapper. Mine was very firmly packed almost to the point of being hard and smelled earthy. What my lovely wife describes as dung. Once cut the draw was tight and tasted as it smelled.
It lit nicely and burned dead straight and even but I just couldn't grow to like it. The overall taste was dry and earthy and to my amazement it had a hint of beetroot! Where the fuck did that come from, not my favourite vegetable I have to say. This cigar was turning me green at the gills so I just let it go out and looked for something else.

Just for my amusement....has anyone ever had a Macanudo and said something along the lines of "holy crap can't wait to have another"?

Big shame, it looks very tempting.

I stand corrected. The only Mac I ever had that wasn't terrible was the Cru Royale. That being said I would not go search it out, but it was much better than the regular line.

The vintage maduro was the one that prompted my wife to utter the immortal words 'if I smoked a cigar it would be this one but I don't think I'd want something this big in my mouth'
