M by Macanudo Adding Three New Flavors in August

There will be three new flavors of M by Macanudo heading to stores next month.

General Cigar Co. has announced that it will add the M by Macanudo French Vanilla, Mint Cocoa and Dark Rum flavors, each in a 6 x 50 toro vitola. Blend-wise, all of the cigars use the same tobaccos: an Indonesian wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. The cigars are flavored with what General calls a “proprietary flavor infusion process.”

Each cigar will have an MSRP of $8.49 per cigar and is offered in boxes of 20 cigars.

“The new M by Macanudo flavors continue to defy the typical flavored cigar experience,” said Steve Abbot, director of marketing for Scandinavian Tobacco Group—which owns General Cigar Co.—in a press release. “They smoke like a premium Nicaraguan cigar, yet are enhanced with enticing flavor notes to deliver an indulgent departure from the everyday smoke. The French Vanilla, Dark Rum and Mint Cocoa offerings are a great compliment to summer smoking occasions and will help to keep the vacation vibe alive when the mercury dips.”

General Cigar Co. launched the M by Macanudo in 2018 with a line of coffee-flavored cigars that is offered in multiple sizes.

The cigars are expected to arrive at stores in mid-August.
