Notes:

Really one of the best cigars I've ever smoked. No surprise that this line is made by Tabacalera Perdomo They just seem to keep cranking out the hits.

This stick is a big, black, box pressed, power house. It's as smooth as a baby's butt, but it's not a wimpy little cigar. The flavor is pure, strong, top of the line tobacco. I've smoke dozens of these things in a couple of different sizes and never once have I had a bad one. If you like a nice mellow kind of smoke stick to Macanudo, because this ain't your cigar. But if you like a cigar that will satisfy your urge for a good old fashioned ass kickin' then this is your cigar.
