Macanudo Inspirado Year of the Rabbit Heading to Europe and Asia
A new limited edition from Macanudo that will celebrate the Year of the Rabbit is slated to be released to select markets in Europe and Asia in the coming weeks.
It’s the Macanudo Inspirado Year of the Rabbit, a 6 x 50 toro that uses a Connecticut-grown shade wrapper, Mexican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Mexico. A press release from Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) called the cigar’s profile “a rich smoke with a pleasant aroma that pairs beautifully with an array of beverages and cuisines.”
“While Lunar New Year celebrations are gaining in popularity, the demand for Macanudo Inspirado continues to grow globally as the blends are particularly appealing to a range of palates,” said Mark Renard, international marketing manager for STG, via a press release. “With Macanudo Inspirado Year of the Rabbit, we are unifying the Lunar New Year celebrations with a unique blend that will be enjoyed by our clients in European and Asia who have requested a cigar for this important occasion. As the Year of the Rabbit embodies elegance, peace and luck, we extend those wishes to our clients across the world.”
A total of 3,900 boxes of 10 cigars have been produced by General Cigar Dominicana in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Those cigars will be available in France, Spain, the United Arab Emirates and Macau, among other countries, beginning in early January 2023. Pricing will vary based on the local market, but STG said the cigar is expected to be priced in the €18-20 range, or approximately $20 per cigar.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
