Cigar Magazine rating, no. 7

Macanudo Maduro Hyde Park (5.5"x49)


This cigar is black! It is the darkest cigar I've seen in a long time. It looks absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately it does not taste as good as it looks. It has a long finish (believe if or not) that has a slight sweet taste due to the maduro, but that's about it! Very little spice. No pepper. There is some coffee tones. Some decent spice finally kicked in after 2/3 of the cigar! That's a little late!
