It maintained the same taste throughout the smoke
overall i'd give it a 7-7.5 out of 10
I actually find those on the mild to medium side - almost too little for me (I like something with a little more power to it). Also, seemed to plain to me - very little complexity. This is a great cigar if you're out on the golf course, or in the yard working.

I would much rather enjoy a Padron Anniversario, Opus X, Diamond Crown Maximus, Davidoff Millenium Blend, (all on the expensive side) or La Flor Dominica Double Ligero Maduro, Gurkha Masters Select, Fuente Don Carlso, Punch Rare Corojo, CAO Criollo or something like that (on the cheaper side) while I'm relaxing with a drink...

You might want to try the CAO Italia's or MX2 if you like the maduro cigars. They have a GREAT flavor, are not overpowering and are priced about the same as the Macanudo.
