Macanudo Adds 4 1/2 x 60 Gold Label Gold Nugget for 2023

General Cigar Co.’s Macanudo Gold Label is returning to shelves on May 1. This year, there will be eight different sizes, one of which is new for 2023.

Gold Label is a limited production seasonal release that debuted in 2002. It is centered around the wrapper, which uses Connecticut shade leaves from the first or second priming. The company says their position on the plant means there are exposed to less sunlight which creates a leaf that is thin with few veins. Underneath that is a Mexican San Andrés binder over Dominican piloto cubano and Mexican fillers. Like most Macanudo cigars, it is made at General Cigar Dominicana in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic.

New for 2023 is the 4 1/2 x 60 Gold Nugget size. Previously, the Gold Nugget size has been 4 x 60. A total of eight sizes will be offered for 2023:
