Released in 2017, Macanudo Inspirado Black's hearty blend is handcrafted at General Cigar Dominicana and features another Jhonys Diaz creation that entices the palate with a full-bodied, full-flavored promise and keeps it. Moving away from the traditional Dominican long-filler blends normally associated with Macanudo cigars, the core tobaccos are all Nicaraguan-grown in Estelí from proprietary seeds grown, then specially fermented to produce the utmost in strength and flavor. These tobaccos are framed in an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder that also enhances the intensity and taste of the U.S. Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper.
The wrapper itself on the InspIrado Black is a tobacco-growing marvel since the plants were left to ripen on the stalk. The resulting leaf is rich, radiant and offers a new dimension in sweetness. All told, the smoke brims with bold notes of earth and spice that ride on a subtle undercurrent of coffee, cocoa, light pepper, and other intriguing flavors.
"Macanudo Inspirado Black represents sophistication, and is truly for the initiated smoker," says Diaz. "It's about tobaccos that deliver incredible full-bodied flavor and complexity in a cigar that's balanced and pleasurable to smoke."
