El Barbero

Cigar Reviewed: Macanudo Ecuadorian Shade

Smoked at: Riverview Florida

Cold draw:

Sweet dry fruit, agave sweetness to the lips

First Deaw at light:

Nice spice through the retro, woody hints very light smoke.

1/3:

Spice is not as noticeable I’m getting toasted bread, and chard agave sweetness not bitter at all.

A. Ash is nice

B. Smoke still very light

C. The nuance is nice and not overpowering

2/3:

Is a bit more complex sweetness and creaminess is not as present more woody notes are taking over the sweetness aromatic is like a cedar smoky chard like Mesquite, but earthy as if it was fire cured tobacco, and it enhances the smoking note spices back on the retro.

A. Burn is a little bit warmer.

B. The bitterness is a little bit more noticeable.

C. The sweetness is still present on the lips.

Last 3ed

The spices back which is welcomed to make it a little bit more memorable. The Woody Smoky taste is not bitter at all, and the sweetness is at the back end. The nuance of the cigar is more present on the pallet.

El Fin

I would recommend this cigar to someone that is looking for a more complex light to mild stick.
