Tasting Notes

Macanudo Inspirado comes in various colour-coded blends. We have the Orange, White, Red, and Green which all mean something to the company and the lover of the leaf. Here is a breakdown of the various blends.

Macanudo Inspirado Red

Macanudo Inspirado Red was meant to stand out and not just because of the fiery red band. First off, Macanudo Inspirado Red was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Macanudo and is also the first box-pressed Macanudo. It’s a beautiful stick to behold with perfectly pressed veins and flawless seams.

Secondly, it features a high priming (ligero) Ecuadorian Habano wrapper swaddling a binder from Jalapa in Nicaragua, and delicately aged Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. The fillers in this cigar are all vintage blends. We have 10-year aged fillers from Jamastran Valley in Honduras. 12-year aged fillers from Ometepe Nicaragua, and 5-year aged fillers from Esteli Nicaragua.

Thirdly, Macanudo Inspirado Red is slightly bolder than the rest of the offerings in the Macanudo Inspirado line. It is feisty with red pepper flakes and cinnamon right in the first draw. But once it settles there are pleasant creamy notes commingled with musty earth, dried fruit sweetness, baking spice, cedar, and nuts cupped off with an engaging mineral nuance.

And finally, this is the first Macanudo to be rolled at General Cigar’s factory (STG) in Esteli Nicaragua. It comes in three sizes Robusto Box Press (5x50), Toro (6x50), and Gigante (6x60)
