What is a Macanudo Cigar?
A Macanudo cigar is a premium brand of cigar made by the General Cigar Company. The classic hallmark of a Macanudo cigar is a rounded crown, but there is also a pointed Piramide version. Macanudo cigars are amongst the top-selling cigar brands in the United States. The General Cigar Company, a Connecticut-based company, is owned by the Cullman family. The Cullmans have a long history of cigar-making, starting with Ferdinand Cullman who landed up on American shores in 1848. His grandson Joseph Cullman Jr. started a tobacco plantation in Connecticut and grew the finest Havanese tobacco there.
