Macanudo Maduro Vintage 1997 Robusto 5"1/2 * 50

The Macanudo Maduro Vintage 1997 Robusto is a steady yet limited release due to its specifically aged 1997 Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper. This black-as-coal Dominican robusto sports a band on the foot and a metal ring at the top that doubles as a cigar holder. The Macanudo Maduro Vintage 1997 Robusto is both rich and smooth, with some underlying spice due to the Nicaraguan, Brazilian and Dominican filler blend, topped with a strong Honduran binder. Full-bodied and bold until the very last puff.
