Macanudo maduro

dubiousmonk

Just "atempted" to have one of these at lunch, tasted great. way, way to tight. horrible draw. I could feel about an inch and half from the cap was rock solid and from there to the foot much looser. Really disapointed as to how it was preety much unenjoyable having to desperatly try to get anything close to a mouthful of smoke.

I've had that problem once with this stick as well. I don't get it anymore. Try the Onyx Reserve, it's similar but much cheaper and has better flavor IMO.

Find something to stick in there or you may just have to cut off an inch and hope the wrapper doesn't come off.

cool man thanks for the tip.

I've tried this one and found it way too mild for a "maduro". The draw was a little tight for me too. Come to think of it, I've never really had an enjoyable Macanudo...... I just had the Monte Cristo Media Noche. That one was pretty awesome.

I bought a box of these and haven't had a problem with one of them in fact with every one of them the smoke is so abundant it is really nice , they do well with a little time on them too, I have also bought $20 Monticristos and had draw problems with them....can happen with any cigar......

I agree, the Media Noche is a great smoke!

The first (and only) time a cigar ever made me puke was a macanudo maduro. Something in it made a bunch of tar, which got in my mouth and tasted so foul i autopuked while driving down the highway. I was actually kinda enjoying it up to shortly before that point.

if you make two cigars that are identical in binder and filler, with the wrapper on one being natural and the wrapper on the other being maduro (both wrappers the same but one going through the maduro process) the maduro one will be a bit more MILD.

by nature of how maduro is done, the leaf loses some power and sugars are brought out.

if you add this to an already super mild cigar (macanudo) you end up with a cigar that has almost no body to it.

one of the original comments was that a mouth full of smoke was hard to get. this could have been more than just a draw issue. the smoke was so light in body you may have had more in your mouth but were unable to tell.

the media noche is a great cigar. it is what the macanudo maduro wishes it could be when it grows up.

Not to hurt anyone's feelings but Macanudo makes dog rockets. I used to love them when I first started smoking cigars. Now it is like lighting up a flavorless piece of cardboard. Strange how your taste in cigars can change so much. Just my opinion so don't hate me.

When I first started getting in to cigars, the "T" box place recommended (as jihiggs so appropriately captured them) MacaDooDoo's... They were horrible, but they didn't discrourage me from my quest.

Just my opinion.

I've never had hthis issue thus far. This stick really got me into maduros.

I've never had a Macanudo, but I'll be damned if my girlfriend didn't buy me a lancero of the stuff!!! Hopefully a drunk night will entail and I can only smoke a 1/4th of it and then say I'm too drunk to finish
