Description
Macanudo was originally the name of a frontmark produced in
Guatemala by the makers of the
Cuban brand of
Punch. In 1971, General Cigar, which had acquired rights to the name outside of Cuba, introduced a completely distinct Macanudo as a brand unto itself. It was developed in Jamaica under the leadership of
Ramón Cifuentes, a veteran of Cuban cigar maker
Partagas. Production shifted from Jamaica to the Dominican Republic in October 2000.
Macanudo is the name of a
cigar brand produced by the
General Cigar Company in the
Dominican Republic. It is noted for its mild flavor and lite
Connecticut shade wrapper, but is also available in a darker
maduro wrapper.
