Macanudo Emissary España
Macanudo Emissary España uses a harmonious blend of tobaccos from five countries, the centrepiece of which is a Havana seed grown near the town of Riolobos in Spain. The region’s rocky soil and Mediterranean climate produce a rich tobacco that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Grown alongside olive trees and fields of peppers destined for paprika, this tobacco is distinguished by its thick, oily leaves, shaped by hot, dry summer days and mild nights. Combined with the mineral-rich nature of the soil, the result is a tobacco of remarkable intensity and complexity.
The Spanish Havana leaf is blended with five tobaccos from four other countries (Nicaragua, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and the United States), aged for between 5 and 10 years. This optimal ageing process mellows the tobaccos and brings out all their subtle nuances.
This is the first time we have presented a cigar containing a Spanish filler (aged for 10 years), which adds a distinctive touch to this tasting experience.
Tasting menu
The cigar is not particularly expressive when cold. Upon lighting, sweet notes fill the palate and set the tone for the entire smoking experience. The ash is a beautiful white, though slightly crumbly.
The Emissaire is truly delightful! The aged tobaccos used in this cigar give it a charming, sweet roundness that will win over even the most discerning connoisseurs. Notes of toasted hazelnuts, chocolate and caramel make for a smooth and pleasant smoking experience, perfect for a mid-afternoon cigar. The draw is smooth and effortless.
His gold ring gives us the impression that we are on a mission of the utmost importance, a cigar hanging from our lips.
Pairing

Notes
