Mac 1968

Shoot me your addy Tyler and I'll shoot one to you to try.

Don't EVEN think about it - I WILL NOT Allow it!!!

IMO - still a grocery store cigar. At a similar price point anyone could choose LFD Ligero Cab, Oliva V, 601 Mad, or DPG cigars. Why??????? Macanudo???????

Well, dammit......I've got two left George. I'll send the other your way so you won't feel left out.

YOU BASTID!!! You would too - wouldn't you...

Macanoodles are golf course cigars - nothing more / nothing less. The only reason I would ever think about giving somebody one would be because it's likely you'll satisfy about 90% of the persons that may choose to smoke it (primarily because they're so doggone mild - and someone not used to smoking cigars would likely think they're fantastic). Other than construction - I cannot think of any other "plus"...

Dollar for dollar - there are so many other better choices. The list is incredibly long!

Sorry - but it had to be said...

Why YES, YES I WOULD!! And since it would be a gift you would be obligated to smoke it and not give it away.

Seriously though, I agree with your general assessment of Mac's, including this one. That being said, if the price point was down in the 4-5 $ range.......I might keep a couple around for those "once-in-a-while smokers" and tooling around the yard smokes.

HA HA HA

Classic, and dead on accurate.

Thanks for the offer, but I say send it to George.

You guys are killing me... Buncha freakin' clowns...

The guys at my local B&M were going on and on about how different these were than the regular Macs, how they are fuller, and just a totally different cigar. Funny, they were saying the same thing about the Mac Golds about 2 months ago. Today, those Mac Golds are crap, but these 1968's are great, etc., etc., etc. They also have a $10 price point for a robusto there.

But I held on, strong, and true, and resisted any temptation.

I don't know, guys, I think I'm going to look for another B&M..........maybe I'll open my own.

I smoked this at a tasting event this past Friday and agree with everyone. I've never really enjoyed Macanudo but went for the free cigar and beer. The draw was tough and I almost lost the burn a few times. Smoke wasn't very thick. Oh well, picked up some tastey Rocky Decades to make up for it!
