Description
The M by Macanudo Espresso with Cream Toro is a 6 x 50 flavored cigar whose barber-pole wrapper twists dark Indonesian maduro around lighter Indonesian shade leaf, over a Philippine binder and Nicaraguan filler. Macanudo says the tobacco is infused with espresso and cream.
What It Tastes Like
No independent outlet has posted a dated review we could locate, so no score appears. Macanudo’s own notes are short: espresso, cream and tobacco. At launch in July 2021, General Cigar told Cigar Coop the flavor drew on café con leche and café macchiato.
Who It’s For
- Latte and macchiato fans hoping to taste a milky espresso in tobacco form.
- Fans of unusual looks who enjoy a two-tone striped wrapper.
- M by Macanudo regulars ready to trade a robusto for a 6-inch toro.
