Macanudo Inspirado Green is another of the company’s hugely successful boutique entries.
With attention to detail, Green is the latest full-time addition to the Inspirado family. This complexly blended smoke packs exotic Brazilian and Colombian flavors in a provocative cigar too good to pass up. Smoking Inspirado Green yields a unique experience uncommon in premium cigars. It all starts with amazing flavors in the rare Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper. This tobacco delivers an exceptionally smooth and velvety essence. Combine this with Colombian Carmen Cubito and Dominican Piloto Cubano filler tobaccos and the result is loaded with flavors of earthy sweetness and black pepper.
With this in mind, Cigar Aficionado rates this 2021 release a very respectable 91. Their description is spot on. ” Though solid to the touch, this dark toro burns and draws evenly, showing a thick, spicy smoke that loads the palate with sweeter notes of maple syrup, hickory and molasses atop an underlying earthy core of coffee bean. The zingy finish is bright with cedar.”
To put it another way, Green is another winner for Macanudo and cigar lovers everywhere!

Serie R Natural consists of a proprietary blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Binding this special tobacco is the vintage Nicaraguan binder. The big difference here is the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.
Stogie Review enjoyed it and describe it well. “A medium to full bodied cigar with flavors of dark, rich coffee, licorice and a nice tobacco taste.” Cigar Aficionado gives it a thumbs up too with a respectable rating of 92. They say it best. “Rich in color with an oily wrapper and superbly crafted cap, this short robusto draws and burns evenly. Sweet woods and floral notes are balanced by spices, earth and hints of dried orange peel.”
Those of us that enjoy Serie R know it has balance and a slow smooth burn. The bonus is the unmistakable Cuban style smoking experience that can’t be beat.

La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Maduro is as equally loved as the original edition.
With attention to detail, the Air Bender Maduro contains the same vintage blend with one big exception. The dark and oily Brazilian Habano wrapper gives this version a slightly different body and taste. Cigar Aficionado rates it a respectable 90. Their description is short and to the point. “Strong, earthy and peppery, this cigar imparts a spicy smoke, but there are also notes of dark toast, espresso and dried fruit. The draw and burn remain even.”
No doubt this maduro’s overall body and complexity is still full with big bold flavors. While this cigar may have taken it’s time developing, it was worth the wait. That is to say, this Air Bender is another winner for Litto Gomez and his great company. If you like the original, you owe it to your palate to try these.

La Flor Dominicana Suave is another one of this iconic company’s highly desirable editions.
A great way to describe the Suave blend is it’s elegantly mild, with a good balance of smooth flavors. This cigar is also considered the La Flor Dominicana for the rest of us. By that, it’s the perfect cigar for newcomers and those who prefer a milder but still complex tasting smoking experience.
Cigar Authority rates this kinder gentler blend a more than respectable 92! Their description is spot on. “It’s a more mellow option for those of us who want to enjoy all the qualities of the brand, but not the strength.” Without doubt, if you’re new to this long standing brand and enjoy milder cigars, Suave should be your first try. Any one you choose is a top pick!
