Dark and oily, this big Churchill burns evenly. Notes of black pepper, pencil lead and wood are accented by hints of chocolate before the short finish.

At the 2016 IPCPR Trade Show, General Cigar Company introduced the Cohiba Macassar line. The Cohiba Macassar was a cigar meant to replace the Cohiba Comador, a line that had been discontinued.  Introduced in late 2013, the Comador generated considerable attention because it was done as collaboration between General Cigar Company’s Cohiba brand and musician Shawn […] Key flavors: Cocoa Powder,.

Cohiba Macassar Toro Grande

Cigar Dojo · May 11, 2017

The Cohiba Macassar line of ultra-premium cigars was introduced to the market in the summer of 2016. Rolled in three sizes—the Gigante (6” x 60), the Double Corona (7¼” x 54), and the Toro Grande (6” x 52), which was smoked for the review—the cigars are composed with tobaccos that were aged for a minimum of four years, with the final year spent in rum barrels. Primary aromas and flavors of damp earth and vegetation are sporadically complemented by subtle notes of assorted nuts, bread, herbs, licorice, cinnamon, gingerbread, and tropical fruits. The burn and the draw are first-rate, and the cigar is approachable by both the novice and the more experienced cigar enthusiast. However, it is an expensive smoke and the overall score was effected by the lack of complexity expected by a cigar in its price range.

This is a medium cigar with a host of delicate flavors. Much like the Cohiba Comador, the Macassar is a good cigar, but it’s also quite pricey. If I was given my choice of General’s Cohiba offerings, I’d probably still choose the Comador, but not by much. If you haven’t particularly cared for Cohiba in the past, I’m not sure this will change your mind as the flavor is still very much medium, but it’s a positive experience from General’s Dominican factory, which isn’t always the case for me.

Overall, the flavor profile was too subtle and did not meld well. Not that price factors into our scoring system, but given its high price tag of $22 MSRP, I expect a fantastic cigar. This one did not quite live up to it with its subtleties.
