Macanudo 1968 PRE-review

Entering a new market segment; Macanudo introduces a bold maduro cigar called the Macanudo 1968. According to the cigars website this is:

“…a bold new taste that perfectly balances the cigar’s fullere-bodied tobaccos…”

and…

“This bold expression of Macanudo boasts a depth and complexity that will resonate with today’s seasoned cigar smokers.”

I have had the luxury of smoking just a handful of these sticks and I must admit: They were right.

This is a great cigar that does sit well with many seasoned cigar smokers. The Macanudo 1968 might be just the best new cigar to be released at the Las Vegas convention.

Quick Smoke: This cigar smells like chocolate melting in coffee. At first I thought this was going to be the overwhelming taste and I would be unhappy with yet another Macanudo product. Much to my surprise this was actually more of a spicy smoke that only hinted at the coffee and chocolate.  This stick is just loaded with flavors. I also have to mention that this stick IS NOT full bodied; 1968 is a medium smoke.

My Advice To You: Smoke One.

The Macanudo 1968 wrapper leaf is Honduras; while the filler is a mixture of Dominican and Nicaraguan.

Expect the new Macanudo 1968 in your local cigar shops this August or early October. Arriving in boxes of 20 the sticks will range in price from (approximately) $8.50 - $11.00. This will also be a contracted cigar- meaning it can not be sold online or in catalogs.

That being said: Macanudo 1968 online, at Macanudo1968.com, is giving everyone the opportunity to order 3 sticks, mailed to your house, for a total of $10.00. Jump on this deal.
