Macanudo Inspirado Brazilian Shade Returns

June 27, 2024 By Matthew Tabacco

Macanudo will release Inspirado Brazilian Shade for the first time since its launch in 2021. The limited-edition collection features a rare Brazilian wrapper and a proprietary Cuban-seed filler and combines masterful blending with expert agronomy for a one-of-a-kind smoking experience.

Steve Abbot, director of marketing for Macanudo said, “To create Macanudo Inspirado Brazilian Shade, we made a significant investment in agronomy that spans Central and South America.  This blend speaks to our commitment to bringing unique smoking experiences to premium cigar smokers. We’re pleased to be able to offer this one-of-a-kind blend once again.”

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 sungrown 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 hints of toasted nuts, cocoa and sweet earth.

Handmade by artisans at the General Cigar Dominicana factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic, Macanudo Inspirado Brazilian Shade will ship to retailers in late June and will be available in two sizes. The cigars will be presented in ten-count boxes designed to pay homage to the Brazilian flag.

Toro (6.5” x 52); SRP per cigar $10.99
