Description
Macanudo Inspirado Red is another of the company’s hugely successful boutique entries. To begin with, literally everyone knows the name Macanudo. However, Macanudo was originally the name created by the makers of the Punch Cuban cigars. In 1971, General Cigar introduced Macanudo as a stand alone brand and the rest is cigar history! Production shifted from Jamaica to the Dominican Republic in October 2000 where it remains to this day.
For the record, Macanudo claims this Inspirado is the boldest of the line. With attention to detail, this box pressed Red blend uses an Ecuadoran Habano ligero wrapper blended with Nicaraguan fillers including twelve-year aged Nicaraguan Ometepe, ten-year aged Honduran Jamastran and five-year-aged Nicaraguan Esteli, and a Jalapa binder. To say this is a very complex blend is an understatement!
Cigar Coop rates the Red a respectable 90. The description is spot on on all fronts. “This was an excellent offering. While it’s not a cigar that will knock you down with strength, it is a cigar that delivers on a fuller-bodied experience. I found the flavor profile to be quite enjoyable and things worked nicely in the box-press format. While it is fuller, it’s a great cigar for a novice to graduate to something fuller – and will appeal to the more seasoned cigar enthusiast.”
For sure, this four country blend will gently push you back in your seat! If your a fan of robust and flavorful cigars, look no further. This box pressed beauty will satisfy every full bodied smoker’s palate.
To sum up, Macanudo Inspirado Red is available in 3 popular sizes of 20 count boxes. There’s also Cigarillos in tins to choose from.

Everyone knew that if you occasionally enjoyed a full bodied Cuban style smoke, Macanudo wasn’t your choice. That was then and this Macanudo Red is now!
