The heart of a Macanudo is the exceptional character of its tobacco blend. A blend of the finest quality Jamaican, Dominican and Mexican filler and binder leaves are combined with the world's richest wrapper tobacco to produce the incomparable taste and aroma of Macanudo cigars. The mystery of a Macanudo is in the making of the cigar. They are truly handmade from start to finish. To make a cigar by hand requires talented hands and intensive training.
Cigar makers work in teams of three, one bunch maker and two wrapper layers.
The bunch maker blends the fillers by hand into the form of a cigar. The filler leaves are then wrapped with a strong binder leaf into the basic cigar shape or bunch. The finished bunch is then pressed in precision wooden molds to shape the cigar until ready for the wrapper layer. The wrapper layer skillfully cuts a section from the choice portion of the leaf in a shape that fits the contour of the cigar. This precisely cut leaf is then rolled around the bunch.
