Daddy Mack 552 Robusto
NOTES:
A veiny and tight-seamed 'nuff tree branch hue'd Robusto. Stiff in the hand, soft in the mouf. Burns at a great pace on straight 'nuff and then-some line. Pack density (though a tick soft) and seams hold fast. Excellent smoke out-put. Slight tunnel-threat self-abates at mid-point. Beyond that, shaft heats-some. Sweet citrus woods with a coffee bean expressed therein. Pepper spices through the nose of white ground and mulling. Traces of orange blossom honey, chocolate chip cookie (particularly on finish). Nicely toasty with well-rounded richness. Builds in supple leathers and cream. Not overly complex, but verily balanced and quite enjoyable.
FINAL GRADE: A-

Daddy Mac is a celebration of Steven Bailey’s father, Mac Bailey. It is produced at the La Zona factory in Estelí, Nicaragua and is presented in boxes of 20. Each box displays an illustration of Mac Bailey tending his tobacco fields.
The Daddy Mac’s rich Brazilian wrapper and Ecuadorian binder highlight the exquisite Nicaraguan filler tobaccos of this medium-to-full bodied blend. These beautifully crafted cigars have notes of sweetness and spice that dance on the palate. With a superior balance of flavor, Daddy Mac is an instant classic, and a consummate choice for any time of day.
