Macanudo Estate Reserve is the exquisite result of a unique collaboration between Macanudo and Flint Knoll. Our mutual passion for crafting extraordinary flavors combines to create a one-of-a-kind cigar.

MACANUDO & FLINT KNOLL

THE COLLABORATION

Aaron brings his love of wine and fine cigars to the collaboration with artisan blenders to create a cigar that captures the nuances of winemaking and the barrel-aged process. Using Flint Knoll’s French Oak barrels, which housed our Royal Appointment Cabernet Sauvignon, our tobacco was aged to bring a rich intricacy to the smoking experience. This aging process lends Macanudo Estate Reserve the complex flavor and indulgent finish that you can expect from a truly exceptional Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon – and from every Macanudo cigar.

This special release draws its finesse from the French Oak barrels that age our exquisite Royal Appointment Cabernet Sauvignon to take the smoker on a journey through an exotic range of nuances that vary between vibrant, dense and subtle.

The Blend

Handcrafted at General Cigar Dominicana, the blend is made with a curated selection of six tobaccos representing five unique countries. The exquisite smoke begins with a silky, Ecuadoran-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper leaf which was chosen for its golden sheen and nearly imperceptible vein structure. Beneath the aesthetically-pleasing wrapper sits a proprietary Connecticut Broadleaf binder leaf grown exclusively for Macanudo. The binder underwent a special aging process during which it took on characteristics of the French Oak barrels, imparting notes favored by Flint Knoll proprietor Aaron Michaelis. When met with a blend of Brazilian Mata Fina, Dominican Olor, Nicaraguan Jalapa and Dominican Piloto Cubano, Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll delivers elevated layers of aroma and complexity.
