Produced today in the Dominican Republic as well as in Jamaica, Macanudos are made with a flavorful Dominican blend and a select binder grown in the rich San Andrés Tuxtla Valley of Mexico. To assure you of the same smoothness in cigar after cigar, only the makers of Macanudo spend the time and effort it takes to grow, cure and age their own Connecticut Shade, the most sought-after tobacco for premium cigar wrappers. In addition, only the makers of Macanudo age all of their tobaccos twice, just as it used to be done in Havana during the golden age of Cuban cigars.
