Macanudo Maduro Hyde Park Review

[fitzsmoke]

Country: Dominican Republic
Length/Ring: 5 1/2 x 49
Shape: Robusto
Wrapper: Maduro
Strength: Medium
Quantity: 1

I bought this on impulse at my B & M in a Hyde Park three pack for about $14.00. I am not a big Maduro lover and thought I would smoke this first to get it over with. I was pleasantly surprised. A very nice smoke and at least one notch above the regular Mac. At least a medium in the flavor department and smoked the same all the way through. Flavor was leather, some chocolate, and smooth spice. Probably not one I would keep in stock in the humi, but may buy another sampler pack. Regular single price is $5.65 at Famous. A bit pricey IMO. If I found a box on sale I would be tempted to buy.

I would give it an 85 of 100 over all.

I'm glad to see your review of these, I've been thinking about trying them.
sounds like I'll probably like them.
Thanks!

I like the macanude maduro lines. I had a hyde park a few months ago, and I have one more Prince Phillip left in my humidor. I think the macanudo maduro line is better than their naturals, but that's just me, i'm a maduro fan
Nice review I agree that they are a bit overpriced for what they are... there are other cigars in that same quality range that are not as expensive.

I gotta admit, I see why people do pay so much for these... Yes, there are others that are as good for much less, but I have to say the consistency is definitely there. I had a five pack of these and EVERY ONE of them tasted EXACTLY the same. No bad sticks or burn issues in the bunch. If they keep that up through multiple boxes, it could justify the price if you really want to ensure a good experience.

I bought the same sampler. Have not had the Maduro yet, but had the Robust the other day and really enjoyed it. I will forward to the Maduro.

It's funny... I don't see a lot of Macanudo's in people's "Wish Lists" or "Favorite Cigars" lists on this board. I just read through the "Friday Night Cigar" thread and had to go 6 or 7 pages to find one mentioned.

While I haven't bought/smoked many, I've always figured that they were a really good cigar.

Maybe I'll pick up a couple Hyde Park Maddies and try for myself.

When I first started smoking cigars, the Macanudo Hyde Park was my favorite stick. Even when the Robust and Maduro lines were introduced, I liked them as well. As a matter of fact, when my youngest was born, now 6, I bought a box of the Hyde Park Robust to hand out.........

I have since moved on to other cigars, but these were the cigars that really started my slide.....

well said g-man. the macanduo maduro's were the first maduros I smoked, and they really turned me on to the dark side

Thanks for the review fitzsmoke, I havent tried the maduros as of yet.

Macs were the first "real" cigars I had ever tried, although I dont smoke many of them any more, IMO they do make good smokes, just so much out there to try and experience

[warden291]

I gotta pick up a couple of these ......I guess I'm one of the few in this forum who hasn't tried them yet.
