Dominican Bolivar - Thanks, Will, for this great smoke!

Acid Kuba Kuba.

I'm basically smoking the sampler pack I bought so I can get rid of them, then not buying anymore.

I'm not willing to waste the money lol

Just finished a CAO American Potomac from a 4 cigar sampler my girlfriend got me. Gotta love the fact that the World Sampler box it cam in states "Made with two American-grown wrappers, CAO America utilizes premium tobaccos from five different countries..."!

I'll let the forum determine which I should have next in a new thread, watch for it on forums near you (that's this one)!

They have about as much character as a paper-bag, imho. The marketing is far superior to the product. There are many, many mild cigars with much more flavor, for significantly less $$ than Mac's.

If you are into mild cigars, check out the newb sampler and work that out with your sponsor.

Ten to fifteen years ago there were some good Mac's to be had. I don't know the story of their compromised quality but Mac's could hold their own with high end Fuente's, H Upmann, Partagas, etc. I never considered them to be premium cigars and always thought they were over priced. Never-the-less, they weren't bad. The last few I had at least 4 years ago left me with a bad taste (literally) and haven't wasted my money on them since.

Mac's kinda remind me of an American corporate beer - mild, inoffensive, anyone can smoke one - but there's a whole world of tastes out there. They're also awfully expensive relatively - IMHO, a Flor de Oliva Gold is a better mild smoke at, IIRC, at least 1/2 the price.

Thanks to a cold, I've been cigar-less for over a week now and finally felt well enough to smoke today. I should've waited

Smoking a Macadoodle is like smoking a cigar when you have a cold

Smoked an Onyx Reserve earlier today. Looking forward to smoking a Gurkha Shaggy I managed to pick up earlier today, tonight, after a good meal.

**MasterCylinder** · 04-20-2009, 02:22 AM

A Hoyo de Monterrey Largo Elegantes last night - pretty good, though I may have been deceived since I havn't been able to smoke much lately and was really looking forward to it...
