# Macanudo Emissary France Review #36

Liberated a Macanudo Emissary France last night from my humidor, where it's been patiently waiting since I acquired it in late summer. My palette isn't super refined where I can pick up a lot of tasting notes on the average cigar. By GrayGhost on December 20 2025 1:26:15 PM

## First Macanudo... of many to come!

Liberated a Macanudo Emissary France last night from my humidor, where it's been patiently waiting since I acquired it in late summer. My palette isn't super refined where I can pick up a lot of tasting notes on the average cigar. But it was flavorful, lots of thick smoke, some spice on the retrohale, not overly heavy, great aroma, and altogether very enjoyable. Overall construction was fantastic. I had to relight once toward the end, but I chalk that up to ongoing humidity issues on my end, not the cigar. First Macanudo in a long time, but I'll be revisiting them more often going forward.
