I have smoked Macanudo Cigars for years now, and read that they came from Jamaica. That appeared bizarre becauce I have not heard much about Jamaican tobacco. Reputedly, Cuban immigrants brought tobacco seeds to Jamaica, as they did every where else they moved to. But because of hurricanes, work issues and war, it’s been a difficult road for the Jamaican tobacco plant. Macanudo, which came from Jamaica is now handmade by General Cigar Company, found 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 favorite cigars for lots of reasons, I love the sweet but spicy flavor. They are powerful, though not overwhelming. I am able to smoke once a day and be satisfied. There are just a few known Jamaican cigars around nowadays, and they appear tough to come by. If the others taste as well as a Macanudo, I may switch, except for now I’m sticking to what I like.
