Top 5 in The Mac family

Cigar Reviewed: Macanudo Ecuadorian Shade

Smoked at: Plano, TX

Macanudo Ecuadorian Shade is a killer smoke for the price—honestly tastes way more premium than it should. It’s box-pressed with a nice soft feel in hand, which makes it super easy to handle and enjoy.

Flavor-wise, it’s smooth and mellow with a little sweetness, some woodsy notes, and a hint of chocolate that comes through nicely. Burns well, draws easy, and never gets harsh.

Definitely one of the best Macanudos out there—and an easy go-to if you want something affordable but still really good.
