Macanudo was originally the name of a frontmark produced in Jamaica by the makers of the Cuban brand of Punch.
In 1971, General Cigar Company introduced a new cigar named Macanudo as a brand unto itself. Developed in Jamaica under the creative leadership of Ramón Cifuentes, the legendary Cuban cigar master of Partagas, Macanudo soon became the leading premium cigar and remains so today, arguably the most popular premium cigar in the US.
Macanudo cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic, with aged wrappers from the Connecticut Valley, Dominican/Mexican filler, and a binder of double-aged Dominican and Mexican tobaccos.
