Smoked: Macanudo Inspirado Green

Smoked at: Texas

This is an overall enjoyable cigar to have when relaxing with a good glass of bourbon or whiskey. The first half of the cigar is lighter than the second and looks like two different wrappers and a thick cap. The cigar is nice and tight which gives it an overall even smoke throughout the whole cigar. I believe with aging this cigar a couple of months instead of smoking it fresh would bring out more of the flavors and bring a better overall experience.

The first third of the cigar I got a peppery and almost hints of a kind of chocolate taste. I can see this cigar getting better with age with storage in a proper humidor with correct and consistent levels.

The second third I was getting around the same taste but I thought I was picking up a hint of cinnamon as well. Overall it didn’t start to get to the cigars full potential until about halfway through. Then that is when the flavors really started to kick in. You get the same tastes as described above but with an earthy taste as well.

The last third of the cigar is a full blown medium/full flavor cigar that really kicks in the sweet and savory flavors described above. I can see people getting this cigar and instead of smoking right away, let it age for a couple of months to bring out the full flavors of the cigar. That is depending on if when the person got the cigar from the store or wherever it is new and not already aged. Overall this is a nice cigar that tastes good and burns evenly. I do believe that it brings out all the full flavors towards the halfway to last third of the cigar and if aged for a couple of months would be a lot better overall. Overall 4 Stars.
