Macanudo Maduro delivers rich flavor and complexity in a mellow to medium-bodied cigar, wrapped in a dark Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper that undergoes a proprietary curing process. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is treated to a special fermentation and proprietary curing process, making it one of the most intriguing and flavorful maduros available. The cigar features a Mexican binder and a filler mix combining Mexican leaves with smooth Dominican Piloto Cubano, creating characteristic aromas of fruit, nuts, coffee, and cream.
Introduced as a unique line in 1999, Macanudo Maduro represents the brand's evolution from its original Connecticut Shade offerings while maintaining the approachable character that made Macanudo America's best-selling premium cigar brand. Handmade in the Dominican Republic, these cigars feature a rugged, dark-brown Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper concealing a mellow blend of Dominican and Mexican long-filler tobaccos assembled by highly skilled rollers. The brand's heritage traces back to 1971 when General Cigar Company reimagined the Macanudo name under the guidance of master blender Ramón Cifuentes.
Macanudo Maduro has earned critical acclaim, receiving a 90-point rating from Cigar Aficionado, with reviewers noting "It's sweet, rich and nutty, with a wheaty core and a toasty finish smacking of anise". Subtle notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and spice mingle throughout an approachable and nutty smoke, offering easygoing flavor and aroma with more sweetness in the finish than the iconic Macanudo Café blend.
