For several decades this has been a trusted occasional companion on the smoking table. Quite elegant in shape, handmade and most of the times quite well rolled, sometimes a bit too tightly though. Easygoing, of middle-level richness, sometimes a bit thinner, with aromas of herbs, dried grass, occasional hints of chocolate and nuts. Many times. 3.5/5
This is a Macanudo whose exact name I could not ascertain; and bit like a Maduro version of a Rothschild. Medium strength, with aromas of chocolate, spices, hay, and with an earthy undertone and slightly bitter; the draw was all right but may have been wrapped a bit too tight. April 2019 in Fukuoka. 3.25/5
