Rested 1mo. Draw tight used Perfecdraw. Burn a bit wavy but no touch ups needed. Ash dropped at end of 1/3. Wrapper had a few splits but it didn't affect the draw. Mello and smooth with creamy nutty and a touch of oatmeal and sweetness.

It was a solid, smooth cigar. The draw seemed a little tight through the punch hole, but the burn was slow and deliberate. The overall taste and aroma were very good.

Appearance

• Date: 4/22/2024 • Cigar: Macanudo Café Hyde Park • Drinking: Kirk and Sweeney Reserva Rum • Weather: 62 F, very light breeze • Smoke Time: 90 minutes • Draw: Easy • Burn: Easy to light and burned perfectly even, requiring not a single touchup • Ash: Average • Mouthfeel: Light and smooth with just enough spice to make it interesting • Nicotine Strength: Light/Medium • Unlit Flavors/Smells: Not sure; I lit it up immediately • Smoking Notes: Predominantly characterized by cedar followed by leather and earth, the latter two of which really kick in about a quarter of the way through. There are bitter notes reminiscent of dark chocolate and coffee. Some minerality/graphite along with roasted nuts – peanut and almond. Allowing it to rest for longer periods of time between puffs reveals a tinge of sweetness on exhale as well as making the smoke silky and fluffy. The spice is relatively subdued which allows for a smooth retrohale with only a slight sting. The flavor profile develops linearly, increasing in depth but without any particularly new flavors appearing. The finish is nutty, smooth, and creamy. Like the flavors, the room notes are light, bright, and pleasant. • Conclusion: A light, casual, and easy smoke that will please most people and would be great for new smokers. The construction of this particular stick was immaculate – easy to draw, no unravelling or tobacco in the mouth, and best of all, it required no touch-ups whatsoever. The band was definitely removed for this one. I will be sure to pick up some more as I can see it being a regular go-to. 4/5.

earthiness on cold draw. First third: earthy and strong nut taste. 2nd third: more of an emphasis on darker note taste. 3rd: third: same notes but more sweet. Final smoking time: 1:26. Overall this is a good cigar. The first third the flavor wasn’t the best, but the next two thirds were better. Score: 87

Overall the cigar was just an ok smoke. The burn was wonky at first but did get a lot better after the first third. There was not a lot of flavor notes or complexity in this cigar. The middle was pretty good but the first third and final third were below average.

Macanudos to me have been pretty dense with a tough draw. This one was not far off that, but burned consistently and ashed very nicely. Good mild flavor for a casual smoke. This would probably be a decent golf cigar.
