I have smoked Macanudo Cigars for years now, and read that they came from Jamaica. That looked unusual becauce I have not heard much about Jamaican tobacco. Allegedly, Cuban immigrants brought tobacco seeds to Jamaica, as they did each where else they moved to. But due to hurricanes, labor issues and war, it has been a difficult road for the Jamaican tobacco plant. Macanudo, which came from Jamaica is now home made by General Cigar Company, located in Connecticut. They create quality, high end, premium cigars, including Macanudo. They use their own Connecticut shade wrappers, and numerous tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Africa for the filler and binder. These are my favourite cigars for lots of reasons, I love the sweet but spicy flavor. They are strong, but not overpowering. I will smoke once per day and be satisfied. There are just a few known Jamaican cigars around nowadays, and they appear tough to come by. If the others taste as well as a Macanudo, I may switch, but for now I am sticking to what I love.
