I recently smoked the Gigante, and as stated, the Outside of the cigar is near perfect, as the smell. My smoke of choice is still a Padron Maduro of the 6X60 size, I prefer the Padron 7000, despite what may or may not be said about it.. Of course the 1964 & 1926 Maduro Anniversary smokes are somewhat better, the size I dislike. *Back to the 1968 Macanudo Gigante, I found it to be at first Flavorful and rather Smooth, was thinking about buying some more…but as I continued to smoke it, the flavor and intensity continued to die down… I thought I was smoking a Mild cigar, up until the band, when it still didn’t reach the intensity of the beginning first few draws…. I would NOT recommend this to a Maduro smoker, but it may be more appealing to those with a finer palate than mine… It’s not what’s on the outside, it’s what’s on the Inside that turns my gears… but then again, I bought this Cigar, by what it Appeared to Represent on the Inside…a Full to Medium bodied smoke… this it was not. Enough said.

I'm late to this post. But, the Mac 1968 is the exact same cigar as the Bolivar (Dominican Republic). It is no coincidence that Bolivar has discontinued to make these under their name, but you can still find them sold on closeouts. Here are the descriptions from their respective websites:

Macanudo 1968

Wrapper – Honduran San Augustin Havana Seed

Binder – Connecticut Habano

Filler – Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Ometepe

Bolivar cigars (Dominican Republic) present a hearty, smooth and perfectly-balanced smoke for lovers of full-bodied cigars. Designed to reflect the original 1901 Cuban blend, this edition has a complex mix of Dominican filler and two Nicaraguan filler leaves (one from Esteli, the other grown in the volcanic island soil of Ometepe), plus an extra rich-tasting Connecticut Havano Medio Tiempo binder, and a dark, spicy, Honduran-grown San Augustin Ligero wrapper. An intense, but not-overpowering 'must-smoke' cigar.

I very much liked the 1968.Was a very good smoke for the price. Got 5 of the smokes for 25.50 @ my local humidor @ an opning. A little robust and a hint of coffee and no runners up the side. An even smoke. As an enjoyer of Cohiba and Rocky Patell I would have another of this fine cigar. ANTYIME!

Thanks

Eric
