I have smoked Macanudo Cigars for years now, and read that they originated in Jamaica. That appeared unusual becauce I can’t say I have heard much about Jamaican tobacco. Allegedly, Cuban immigrants brought tobacco seeds to Jamaica, as they did every where else they moved to. But due to hurricanes, labor issues and war, it’s been a tough road for the Jamaican tobacco plant. Macanudo, which originated in Jamaica is now handmade by General Cigar Company, located in Connecticut. They create quality, high end, premium cigars, including Macanudo. They use their own Connecticut shade wrappers, and various tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Africa for the filler and binder. These are my favourite cigars for lots of reasons, I like the sweet but spicy flavour. They’re powerful, although not overwhelming. I am able to smoke once per day and be satisfied. There are only a few known Jamaican cigars around nowadays, and they seem hard to come by. If the others taste as well as a Macanudo, I may switch, except for now I’m sticking to what I adore.
