When the folks at the General Cigar Company decided to put a vintage wrapper on a Corona sized cigar, they knew they had something special. Like the rest of the line, the Macanudo Certified Vintage 1997 No. 3 is all decked out with a 1997 wrapper. Under the jacket is a thick Mexican binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Mexico. The 97’ crop yielded a Connecticut wrapper that is chestnut brown in color and offers a lush creamy flavor with a subtle hint of sweet spice. If you are looking for a thin vintage smoke with a little more kick than the rest of the family, then the No.3 is waiting to be lit.
