Macanudo Debuts New Master Series Cigar in France

Macanudo introduces a limited edition Master Series called ‘Inicio’ which means ‘the beginning’ in Spanish. Created by the renowned French cigar journalist Guillaume Tesson, in collaboration with Macanudo’s team of master blenders, Incio is hand-made in the Dominican Republic, exclusively for the French market.

Months of tasting have preceded the final blend which has been selected by Guillaume Tesson together with the master blenders of Macanudo. ‘Starting off with many different types of tobaccos to choose from makes you feel like you are in your kitchen preparing a fine meal, with only the best ingredients at your fingertips. Finding the right composition is what made this process so interesting and fun, as we set blended an enjoyable cigar which can be enjoyed in the morning or after dinner,’ says Guillaume Tesson.

The cigar is described as aromatic, with a rich, earthy flavor and creamy texture, derived from the Honduran wrapper, Connecticut Broadleaf binder from USA and a blend of hand-selected filler leaves from Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominican Republic and USA.

Containing 10 cigars, the hand-made boxes are sequentially numbered, and feature the autograph of Guillaume on the box as on the cigar band. Only 500 boxes are available of the Macanudo Master Series Inicio.
