Macho Box

Macho has a noticeably dark brown wrapper. It has a handful of small veins running across its surface. The first third starts off very light and almost mild but quickly bolsters.

The flavors were medium-full with a light to medium strength. It is a very well-balanced cigar with creamy notes of toasted wood and a hint of sweetness complimented nicely by more robust flavors of earth and coffee.

The finish is medium-bodied and doesn’t linger long. The flavors stay pretty consistent from start to finish. What it lacks in complexity it more than makes up for in just good solid flavors and a nice finish. It did seem to pick up in strength a bit in the last third adding a bit of peppery spice to the mix. I was surprised that this wasn’t a stronger cigar given all the ligero that is in the blend and the Habano binder.

I wonder if that was a side effect of the exaggerated ring size. I really enjoyed this cigar and very much want to try this blend in a more traditional size like a corona or Robusto. If you are a fan of big girthy cigars then I think you’ll love this one. It is an excellent smoke.
