Macanudo Gold Label is now making its annual return, marking the occasion with a new, limited-edition size available this year only.
Macanudo Gold Label is shipping to retailers between now and July 31, 2024 or until this year’s allotment has been depleted. Eight frontmarks will be available, including the “Golden Fig” which is perfecto created exclusively for the 2024 season.
Steve Abbot, director of marketing said, “Macanudo Gold Label is an enticing, mellow blend that makes for a great smoking experience on its own and deepens the allure of pairings. It’s a pleasure to bring the blend back for its 22ndyear and we look forward to sharing it with cigar lovers across the country.”
Macanudo Gold Label was originally released in 2002, and has, for more than two decades, remained a perennial favorite among discerning cigar aficionados. The cigars are named for the brand’s golden wrapper leaves harvested from the first and second primings of the Connecticut Shade tobacco plant. Exposed to less sunlight which allows more natural sugars to remain, each leaf is extremely thin and remarkably supple with barely visible veins. The result is a texture that is especially smooth and silky, and a subtle hint of sweetness on the palate.
The Capa Especial (special wrapper) is combined with the first and second primings of Mexican San Andreas tobacco which is used as the binder and sits atop a blend of Dominican Piloto Cubano and Mexican filler tobaccos. The result is an extraordinary cigar with the traditional smoothness of a Macanudo and a unique note of sweet earth not found in any other cigar on the market.
