Review Notes: Well, I deeply disagree wuth the ratings below...I am not a fan of Mac products, which I usually find far too mild for my taste. I bought this however after the advice of my usual Milan retailer. I smoked it yesterday evening: what a surprise. I was with a friend who was smoking a Partagas D4 and this Mac was almost at par with it, only slightly stronger....Excellent flavours of toasted nuts and hints of dark chocolate, good construction and nice looks give the full picture. A real surprise. Expensive, of course. Maybe one more year of aging has bettered the thing, if I look at the dates of previous ratings....
