Everything about the Macanudo Vintage® 2000 cigars is sublime, right down to the pristine 2000-vintage Connecticut wrappers - only the 6th crop in 27 years deemed worthy of the series. The filler is high-priming Dominican Piloto Cubano with a longer ripened, medio tiempo Mexican San Andreas binder. All of the tobaccos are double-cured and tercio-aged to ensure the richest, smoothest flavor possible. A luxurious and seductively aromatic 'must-smoke' created for the true cigar aficionado.

Score: 9.3

Another phenomenal cigar that takes its rightful place among the renowned Macanudo Vintage Series. Ultra-smooth, seductively aromatic, and remarkably flavorful. Everything about the Macanudo Vintage VIII was perfect, right down to the seamless rolling of its pristine, 2004 vintage Connecticut wrapper.

As it smoked, this Robusto just got better and better. I didn't want it to end, and I was still within the first inch! The cigar was velvety smooth all the way down. Consistently flavorful, with a marvelous cedar-aged sweetness, and it never turned bitter. Just great, great, great from foot to head.

If you don't smoke milder cigars, then stay away from this cigar. Of course, then you won't know what you're missing. If you have an appreciation for fine cigars, this current Mac Vintage series is a real standout. If you have the means, buy two boxes and save one for long-term aging. They should be mighty fine by the time the next Macanudo Vintage series debuts. But it's going to be hard to follow this act.
