I too make my choices based on retail sales stats. Which is why I prefer mine with a cold Budweiser and healthy slice of Velveta cheese. And yes, I have both pinkies blazing.

Smoke thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. While I’ve never seen any independent report that says Macanduo is the best selling cigar in the US I won’t argue since I can’t offer any proof.

You should poke around the site and will see that I have a wide range of taste in cigars. Most of which aren’t supper strong.

It’s been 3+ years since this review and all I can say is that every day cigar smokers (at least those I hang with at retail shops) don’t smoke macanudo and haven’t since their early days.

Who really is a snob? Do you hold your pinky in the air when you drink your cognac out of your sniffer?

Dude…you’re a moron. The number one selling cigar in the US, and you’re bashing it? You’re a stogie snob. Just because you like your cigars to taste like strong dog-crap doesn’t mean this one is of lesser quality. As far as enjoying a cigar goes, this is one of my favorites. Especially paired with a snifter of fine cognac.

I’ve been smoking cigars for 15 years now (just turned 40) and I actually think that some Mac Mads I have had in my humi for about 2 years (robustos) now are some of the best maduros that I own (I have a humidor of about 2,500 cigars). While very mild, the aroma is wonderful and for the price have been very consistent. I’m not a mac fan although macs were some of the first cigars I and probably many others tried and I do still have some Gold Label Connecticuts but I can’t say one negative thing about the maduros. Are they on par with Patron Anniversarios? No. Am I glad I bought them a couple of years ago? A resounding Yes!

Hey Jerry, the video was great! One problem though…I smoked a Macanudo maduro last week and got an overpowering acidic, vegetal, sort of maduro, finish that really turned me off. I’m no pro, but does anyone think that its possible to get a dud cigar or something? I really want to give it another try because noone else seems to have experienced this.

Hey Jerry – It was great seeing your video! AND, I really appreciate the recommendation for a beginner’s cigar. I have a buddy who I am introducing to the art of fine cigar smoking.

Oh, and one last thing, I enjoyed the messaging on Twitter!
