Spotlight Brand: Macanudo Inspirado Black

June 5, 2016 |

Let this Macanudo inspire you...

The Inspirado line of Macanudo cigars has been forbidden fruit for American enthusiasts. First released internationally in 2004, Macanudo Inspirado introduced a bolder blend for their non-American fans. Macanudo Inspirado Black continues in the same bold vein, and now CIGAR.com is proud to bring this previously unavailable premium cigar to American enthusiasts.

Macanudo Inspirado Black is draped in an exclusive dark US Connecticut Habano wrapper blanketing a proprietary Dominican Vega Especial binder and a blend of Dominican Olor, Dominican Piloto Cubano, Honduras, and Nicaragua long-leaves. Medium to full-bodied, expect the familiar Macanudo cream, although this time the creaminess underscores rather than leads the blend. You’ll find plenty of spice, pepper, cedar, and earth rounding out this premium handmade. Pick up Macanudo Inspirado Black, and get a taste of this once forbidden gem.

Q & A: Flavored Cigars for the Traditionalist

Q.
What are some flavored cigars that a traditional cigar enthusiast might like?

5/27/16 | by AD of East Brunswick, NJ

A.

There are plenty of non-flavored cigar fans out there that still enjoy the occasional flavored cigar to mix up the rotation. While the options are endless, we suggest looking for a flavored cigar that is handmade with all long-filler tobaccos. One of my personal favorites within this category is Torano Reserva Decadencia. Well-aged in French Oak Barrels once used for a chocolate port wine, this mellow-bodied blend is smooth and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. Each puff is like a bite of dark chocolate washed down with a sip of fine red wine! Another great option is Natural by Drew Estate. Unlike their popular ACID line, these cigars are slightly sweetened only on the cap, and feature various unique fillers from around the globe. There are a few blends within the ACID line that accommodate the traditional cigar guy well including the non-sweet capped ACID Liquid, and the wine-flavored ACID ONE. Lastly, one of the most popular premium handmades featuring a sweetened cap is the smooth and mellow Connecticut-wrapped Baccarat. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference, but we hope these suggestions will get you on the right track!

Review: Ramon Bueso Olancho Vintage

Dave Ramon Bueso Olancho Vintage

Ramon Bueso has worked behind the scenes on blends with industry legends such as Estelo Padron and Frank Llaneza. Today he is reaching stardom with his own line of premium cigars, and his fourth installment is by far the most unique offering within his portfolio. Featuring an oily, Sun Grown Ligero wrapper, purposely under-fermented to create a unique flavor, the latest from Ramon Bueso will instantly grab your attention. It begins with blast of pepper. As it settles down, notes of chocolate and spices appear with slight hints of raisin. This flavorful, medium to full-bodied cigar has a very distinct aroma that sets it apart from any other cigar I’ve had.
