The Macanudo Cafe Duke of Devon comes in boxes of 20 cigars with a price tag of $136.62 per box. This mild-bodied Corona measures 5 1/2 inches with a 42 ring gauge, wrapped in silky Connecticut shade leaf. As part of America's best-selling premium cigar line, it delivers Dominican/Mexican filler tobaccos rolled in the Dominican Republic - the perfect entry point for newcomers exploring non-Cuban classics.
First Third: Creamy nougat notes emerge immediately, accompanied by toasted cedar and faint floral whispers. The draw offers minimal resistance with thin blue smoke output.
Middle Third: Baking spices (mainly white pepper) surface beneath the primary cream base. Mexican tobacco's earthiness becomes detectable through retrohale without overwhelming.
Final Third: Develops nuttier character with almond skin bitterness balancing the sweetness. Ash holds firm for 1.5+ inches though heat management becomes crucial in last inch.
The Connecticut wrapper shows moderate oil sheen with visible tooth. Cap application varies between boxes - some triple-layered perfection, others slightly jagged. Combustion stays even when stored at 65% RH, though occasional canoeing occurs under 70% humidity.
