Macanudo Sumatra Box-Pressed Toro (6×50)

Summary

Everybody knows Macanudo. That's the whole point. For decades this brand has been the cigar that brought more people into the culture than just about anything else on the shelf, and General Cigar built this new core series around exactly that idea. The Sumatra and its sister release, the Ecuadorian Shade, share the same core blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers over a U.S. Broadleaf binder, both rolled at STG Estelí in Nicaragua. What separates them is the wrapper, and the wrapper is everything. Where the Shade version goes lighter and creamier, the Sumatra goes darker. An Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper brings a richer, earthier character to the same foundation, pushing the profile toward toasted nuts, cedar, a touch of cocoa, and a subtle natural sweetness that lingers well into the finish. This 6x50 Toro gives you a full hour in that profile at a price point between $6.99 and $8.99 a stick. Twenty to a box. For a brand new release from one of the most trusted names in the business, that is genuinely hard to beat.
