So I took a lep in trying a cigar I have not had the pleasure of smoking before. While checking out the 40% bin I came across Macanudo's vintage 2013 maduro, so I figured I'd give it a try and boy was I greeted with tone of thick dry smoke with notes of black coffee, earth, and a very faint sweetness. The burn was a bit problematic in the beginning, nothing that a quick cut and relight fixed and back to plumes of thick dry smoke. At the price I paid I would definitely smoke it again.
