Cigar Review for Macanudo 1968 Robusto 5x50
My Review
The draw has something to be desired. Notably more airflow. Smoke production is terrible.
I did a double punch that seems to have improved airflow considerably. Still not great or even very good or even good but smokeable now.
Getting a lot of wood notes tasting a lot of cardboard.
The flavor it's not bad but it's kind of one note and uncomplex. Not my favorite stick.
