Macanudo Cigars Gold Label 2023 Gold Nugget in Review

BRAND: Macanudo
BLEND: Gold Label 2023

WRAPPER: Connecticut Shade
BINDER: San Andres
FILLER: Dominican, Mexican

FORMAT: 4.5x60 Gold Nugget
ORIGIN: Dominican Republic
INTENSITY: Mild-Medium

NOTES:
Praline | Citrus/White pepper | Suede

Suede engulfs all, as 'all' sits in a sandbox. Citrusy white pepper with spoonful of sugar slight-jitteriness. Praline(hazelnuts)--cream and vanilla. Though sneakily-edgy, meets expected consistency.

An unsurprising blend in a vitola that pushes its consistency down your gullet. "You like this? Here have more." Seems easy to read that in a threatening manner--but if you like this--you'll be a delighted and a heavily-sated smiling glutton. Zero performance woes will stand between you and that (either) end. Although the profile flirts with occasional nervousness.
