My cigars have received a solid 3 months of naked humidor time.
I planned on reviewing this cigar tomorrow. Not happening. I’m not wasting a day more on this cigar. I guess I gave away the ending.
THE WHOLE MEGILLAH:
General Cigar sends samples out to every reviewer.
The cigar would need to gain weight to be classified as a feather.
The draw is the Holland Tunnel. My PerfecDraw is in Aruba. And not responding to its beeper…it can’t dial a phone because of its stubby fingers. Dr. Rod is working on that.
Aromas of stallion gelato, dark chocolate, goat spread, duck pâté, mule head cheese, steamed ferret snog, and a soupçon of argon gas.
I only found Youtubers reviewing this cigar. Yikes. What am I doing.
The stick keeps climbing to the top of the pile in my humidor. Clearly, suicidal tendencies.
Yucky start. Tastes like old paste. Really. Why do golfers crave Macanudos. Why does Macanudo continue to make cigars. I spent a year working in a local B&M. Not once did a smoker purchase a Macanudo. Never. And most of these folks didn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground…the perfect target audience for Macanudo.
Flavors. Let me think. Nope. Is harsh a flavor.
Does General Cigar know that only YouTube folks review their cigars. Their sticks are catalog brand hell.
How does a cigar with 6 different leaves taste this bad. Any other blender on the planet would kill to make a good cigar with what Macanudo axe murdered.
The burn is terrible. A shock.
I casually sip on Mad Dog 20/20. My right pinkie is lifted to signify aristocracy. The cigar ain’t bad now.
Can the number even be quantified of folks who can predict the weather because of old broken bones and arthritis. I hear you nodding. If you’re a boy, you are guaranteed 12 snapped bones by the age of 25.
An inch in, the cigar begins to resemble a cigar.
I can’t believe the MSRP of this thing is $12. Really? Even at the going price of $8, I laugh the laugh of the dead. I swear I have Woody Allen syndrome. Death all the time.
Thankfully, the black pepper is overwhelming and shitty tasting.
Macanudo says the flavors are coffee, fruity, spicy, and earthy. It tastes like dirt, so that’s one out of four. Dirt is insulted.
Wait for it. I detect creaminess 1-1/2” into this testament to Boris Badanov.
I was wrong. It’s wet black pepper.
Nicotine attacks. Why not.
This is just a bad cigar. Bad. B-A-D.
This is why not a single industry reviewer tackled this. Not even an 85. Which means…No idea.
Macanudo should be ashamed of itself. Touting this cigar as an aged beauty. Maybe the 10-year-old wrapper is to blame. Tobacco is an organic material. Maybe they shouldn’t have stored the leaves in a Tupperdor.
This is a great $1.59 stick.
This is a very rough smoke. Harsh to the bone. I can’t continue. So, you going to buy some?
If you want your mooch friends never ask for another cigar, this is the one to stock up on.
We often forget that while we are consumed by passion for good cigars, that most cigar smokers don’t care what they smoke as long as it is on fire…and the stick is long.
If you want to help Cigar Page dump their stock, please help these good folks.
