Guest Quick Smoke: Macanudo Gold Label Somerset
Saturday, May 19th, 2007Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar. The following is a Guest Quick Smoke, submitted by a StogieGuys.com reader. If you’d like to submit your own for publication, please contact us here.
Since I’m not yet able to smoke too large of a cigar on my own, I made a stop at a local B&M on my way home from work and picked up a few pint-sized stogies to enjoy. One of which was the Macanudo Gold Label Somerset, a five inch by 54 ring gauge stick with a golden Connecticut Shade wrapper. At $6.50, I hoped that it would have similar flavors to the other milder Macanudos I’ve come to enjoy – just in a smaller package. It did, and it also has a smooth sweetness that stays on your lips and no harsh spice.
Verdict = Buy.

That said, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of this cigar. For the money, even mild stogies such as these should have more flavor.
