Macanudo announces the debut of the newest addition to the Inspirado line of cigars: Inspirado Brazilian Shade.
Featuring a rare Brazilian wrapper and a proprietary Cuban-seed filler, this cigar marks the first time these rare tobaccos have been used in a Macanudo blend. The limited edition release brings together masterful blending with expert agronomy for a one-of-a-kind smoking experience.
“Macanudo Inspirado Brazilian Shade required a significant investment in agronomy, spanning Central and South America,” said Steve Abbot, Macanudo senior brand manager. “This blend speaks to the lengths that we as a brand will go to in order to bring excitement to premium cigar smokers, and we’re confident that cigar lovers will be drawn to the singular experience this blend delivers.”
Grown in the lush tropical Bahia region of Brazil according to the exact specifications of Macanudo’s agronomists, the proprietary Connecticut Shade wrapper is golden with a silky sheen.
It crowns a Mexican San Andrean binder and a blend that features “Dominican Cubita,” a unique and proprietary sun grown tobacco cultivated on a one-acre plot in the bucolic region of Mao, Dominican Republic.
This special tobacco lends a unique aroma and spicy notes to the smoking experience. When surrounded by Brazilian tobacco, Dominican Piloto Cubano and Nicaraguan Jalapa, the tobaccos come together to deliver a layered, medium-bodied smoke that presents hints of toasted nuts, cocoa and sweet earth.
The new cigar will be available in two sizes:
- Macanudo Inspirado Brazilian Shade Toro (6.25 x 52), a box of 10 will be priced at $10.49 per cigar ($104.90)
- Macanudo Inspirado Brazilian Shade Churchill (7 x 48), a box of 10 at $10.99 per cigar ($109.90)
Macanudo will release 2,000 Toro boxes and 1,500 Churchill boxes.
