It was a time and labor-intensive process, one that had us test binder varietals and aging durations. We ultimately achieved the complexity and nuances we were looking for in the smoking experience.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Handcrafted in Santiago DR at General Cigar Dominicana, the blend for the Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll Release No. 2 has been carried over from the inaugural release of 2022. Made with a curated selection of six tobaccos from five countries, the exquisite smoke begins with a silky, Ecuador-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper leaf which was chosen for its golden sheen. Beneath the wrapper lies a Connecticut Broadleaf binder leaf that underwent a special barrel aging process and took on characteristics of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Flint Knoll Proprietor Aaron Michaelis said, \u201cBy aging the binder leaf in our French Oak barrels, the complexity and spice of our 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon comes to life in a distinctive new smoking experience that\u2019s spicier than the original release. Those who enjoy Macanudo Estate Reserve No. 2 should expect a cigar with notes of creamy vanilla, toasted almonds, dark currants and cedar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll Release No.2 will be released in two sizes and available through select retailers following its October 2 ship date.
