Macanudo Releases Vintage 2006

News from Macanudo. For those of you familiar with Macanudo’s more recent releases, their vintage line is my favorite of all of their lines (my favorite being the Macanudo Vintage Maduro 1997).

General Cigar is proud to present Macanudo Vintage 2006, a phenomenal cigar showcasing only the most refined Connecticut Shade wrapper leaves from the 2006 crop.

More than 30 years ago, General Cigar created its first Macanudo Vintage cigar to spotlight an exceptional wrapper developed in part by Mother Nature herself. Today, guided by meticulous aging and precise maturation techniques which have been handed down throughout the years, the Vintage tradition continues with the release of Macanudo Vintage 2006.

“The Vintage 2006 Connecticut Shade wrapper was cultivated under perfect weather conditions.  Ideal sun, rainfall and temperatures yielded an extraordinary crop of shade tobacco that is beautiful to see, and even better to smoke,” said Bill Chilian, director of marketing for Macanudo.

A strikingly lustrous golden wrapper takes center stage in Macanudo Vintage 2006. Imparting a wonderfully balanced and complex flavor which is punctuated by the traditional Vintage blend, Macanudo Vintage 2006 will debut with just two frontmarks, as dictated by the leaves themselves.

Macanudo Vintage 2006 Robusto (5 ½” x 50) will make its retail debut in November, and will be available for a suggested retail price of $8.39 per cigar, or $100.68 for a box of 12. It will be complemented by Macanudo Vintage 2006 Toro (6” x 54) which will carry an SRP of $8.99 per cigar, or a box price of $107.88.

These exceptional cigars will be protected in handsome mahogany boxes. When the lid is lifted, the fragrant cedar aroma and eye-catching golden metal cigar bands take over the senses, beckoning the true cigar lover to savor the indulgence that can only be had with a time-honored classic.
