Cigar of The Month Club October 2024

Macanudo Emissary Espana Toro (6x52) *New Spring 2024 Release* a first of its kind cigar, because it is the firsttime General Cigars or any company that I know has grown Cuban-seed tobacco in Spain for their fine cigars. The Macanudo Emissary Espana features a 10-year aged Havana seed- Spanish long filler tobacco that is blended with a 5-yr aged Domincan Piloto Colombian, and 6-yr aged Nicaraguan ASP long fillers, a 6-yr aged Nicaraguan Condega binder and a beautiful 5-yr aged U.S Broadleaf Claro wrapper. The Macanudo Emissary Espana is a medium-full body cigar that has found its way into my personal humidor many times this year, since I first decided to give them a light (especially in Robusto size).They offer complex flavors without a ton of strength, with tasting notes of toasted cedar, chocolate, cream, baking spice, black cherry and caramel sweetness. Definitely Box Worthy! (Especially in Robusto). MSRP $15.99
