Mac 1968

**ashauler** · 08-25-2008, 12:47 PM

Anybody tried these yet? I had one a few days ago......definitely a different Mac. Started off pretty good, but got boring about 1/2 way through. The reviews I've read seem to fall along the same lines for the most part.

Thoughts?

Well at 3 for $7.95 they are worth a try. They look good, dark, oily sheen. I don't know, myself I haven't had a desire for a Mac for some time now.

Exactly why I picked them up.....I haven't smoked a regular Mac, or wanted to in quite sometime either. They are certainly NOT your standard Mac........still not something I'd pay b/m prices for though. I've only smoked one so far and I'll let the others sit for awhile before I try again.

Sorry George, but this one is a medium to full smoke. I liked it (enough) to put it on the buy list. Like Drew, they have reinvented the line in this one.

They may have "reinvented" the Macanoodle with this one - but I still concur with Jamie's assessment of the cigar. I have never met a Macanoodle that has ever done anything for me. Even the best usually start off "pretty good", and then turn boring.

Again, I say - Friends don't let friends smoke Macanoodles!!!

I agree on the med-full part Bruce, certainly better on that end than the reg mac's. Like I said though, it turned boring about mid-way and to me won't justify the $8 - $9 price they'll carry.
