WOW! highly recommended
I have 2 words for this cigar - BAD ASS !!
this cigar took me by surprise, i was not expecting this stick to be as great as it is. Upon first light it was like walnuts dipped in chocolate . The walnuty dissapeard shortly and this thing came alive with flavors. Complex flavors. I will need to smoke another to pin point its exact flavors but i will say this, its moved to the top of my what to recommend list ! If you like illusione cigars , then you will love this one for sure. Im not saying its a copy cat of illusione, but its profile is very fitting. leather and roasted coffee and the most predominant flavors here with subtle hits of black pepper every now and again. The burn was flawless and the draw was dead on where i like it. its a beatiful looking gar that is very very awesome and pleasent !! do yourself a favor, if you havent...go get one NOW!!!! i choose to pair this with..you guessed it a classic IPA !!! Hop ottin !! a very intense brew, from a solar powered brewery ! man...i could smoke another right now ! |

Glad you enjoyed the 68'. Had my first one not too long ago, definitely a winner for Macanudo.

They look like great cigars. I was wondering if all the talk was just hype. Looks like it wasn't. Congrats on the great smoke.

Wow this just proves that smoking a cigar really comes down to the individual smoker. I thought they were horrible smokes that were typical of macanudo.

When I smoked it I thought it had a great burn and construction. the flavor wasnt bad. but thats the best I can say for it. I would not compare it to Illusione except for in price. flavorwise Illusione is a 10 and the 1968 is a 1 IMO. but everyones palate is different

Looks like the Mac 1968. I got a 3 pk sampler when they came out, and thought that they were pretty good. But I don't think I will purchase a box. I'd take the illusione any time. Of course the illusione is 50% more expensive.

Had my first one of these a few days ago and it was very impressive - definitely not the boring, mild Macanudo of old but not an Illusione or Padron either. I doubt that I'll ever pony up the retail price of $8-11/stick but I will enjoy my 3 stick promo sampler! You can still get it for $7.95 at:

I find it hard to believe that Macanudo's put out a good cigar. You have piqued my curiosity though.
