Macanudo 1968

cbsmokin · 10-29-2008, 10:00 AM

So there is a bunch of advertising that this stick is something you should not expect from Macanudo.

Has anyone tried one?

I have to admit Macanudo got me started into cigars, but I also have not smoked one in years.

Anyway they are doing the 3 for $7.95 offer if anyone is interested. I searched but did not see this had already been posted.

I haven't had a Macanudo in years either but I have a 1968 sitting in the humi to try sometime soon.

I had one from a 3-pack offered on the web and it wasn't bad. I think they are trying to emulate the Pepin spice thing. I don't know that I'd buy them again but it was definitely not super-mild like most Macs.

I agree with Cap'n Silly....definitely not a mild cigar, pretty tasty. I enjoyed it and you can't beat that deal....3 for 9.95 including shipping...why I pulled the trigger on this deal about a month back.

I've wasted $10 on worse before so I went ahead and bought the three pack.

I had the Toro and I didn't like it.

Smoked one a couple of weeks ago when the Macanudo rep was at my local B&M. She was giving one to everyone who came in which was really nice. My take on it is that it is a pretty good cigar with more flavor than other Macanudos I have smoked. The flavor improved as I smoked it and I bought a couple more to put in the humidor for later. I didn't have a lot of time to sit and enjoy and really rushed through it. There were some burn issues about halfway through.

I too got the 3 pack special. Didn't much care for them.

They sell these around here for $8.50 - $10.00 for a single. They are DEFINITELY not worth the price tag. Better than a typical Macanudo, but the cost prevents me from ever buying another.
