Mac 1968

[ashauler]

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.

Weak moment.

I'll try one if I ever see one.

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.

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?

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.

I'll try one if I ever see one.

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...

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!
