Macanudo Emissary Espana Perfecto
Macanudo Emissary Espana Perfecto
European-grown tobacco is the calling card of Macanudo Emissary Espana Perfecto, the first release in the Emissary series and a blend built around 10-year-aged Havana-seed tobacco cultivated near Riolobos, Spain. That uncommon leaf is supported by aged tobaccos from Nicaragua, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the United States, creating a medium-bodied profile with more depth and nuance than many smokers expect from the Macanudo name.
A 5-year-aged US Broadleaf Claro wrapper and 6-year-aged Nicaraguan Condega binder frame a filler blend that includes Dominican Piloto, Colombian tobacco, Nicaraguan ASP, and the Spanish leaf at the heart of the release. The flavor profile leans toward toasted cedar, almonds, and caramel, and the Perfecto format adds extra visual character to the presentation. At 6 x 54, this figurado usually allows for about 60 to 80 minutes of smoking time, depending on pace.
