Originally founded in 1868 when a few Cuban cigar makers, who had moved to Jamaica, began specialising in fine cigars that would appeal to the British market.

One popular cigar shape was called Macanudo, a Spanish synonym for excellent ! A century later in 1971 General Cigar took the brand to the USA and it subsequently became the largest selling premium cigar brand for over 30 years until the Jamaican production facility was closed down in October 2000 and moved lock, stock and barrel to the Dominican Republic.

The Macanudo Vintage Cabinet Selection is made from specially harvested Connecticut shade wrapper, Mexican binder and Dominican long filler. Since 1971 vintage cabinet cigars have been offered for sale in the following years - 1979, 1984, 1988 & 1993 when the quality of the wrapper is such that they produce superior and generally mild cigars as denoted on the second band adorning the cigar.

Macanudo Maduro Diplomat are not your typical maduro cigars; they're much more than that. Only Macanudo could make a maduro cigar that's mellow, yet still achieve a rich maduro flavor.

Blended with the finest double-fermented, Dominican Cuban seed tobaccos, surrounded by a velvety, ebony-colored Connecticut broadleaf, they offer a medium-bodied yet exceptionally smooth smoke. You may never go back to a natural wrapper again!
