A medium-bodied smoke with a creamy, woody, nutty, and sweetness profile. Its USA Connecticut Shade wrapper cloaks a Mexican binder and a Mexican and Dominican Piloto Cubano filler. Once lit, the cigar offers a smooth mellow smoking experience that is perfect as a morning smoke. The Macanudo brand grows, cures and ages its own Connecticut Shade wrapper and ages the wrapper leaves twice, just as it used to be done in Cuba decades ago. The cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic. The Macanudo Hyde Park received the #23 spot of Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2005, earning a 90 (Outstanding) rating.
