To complete the Macanudo Estate Reserve trifecta, we returned to our friends at Flint Knoll Winery in Napa Valley to create a cigar representative of our boundary-breaking partnership. 2021 was a remarkable year for Napa Valley wine. A lack of rain and lower temperatures resulted in an ultra-rare vintage that led to multiple awards for Flint Knoll’s 2021 Royal Appointment Cabernet Sauvignon.
To craft Estate Reserve Release No. 3, we aged tobacco in the same French Oak barrels that perfected the wine, lending the cigar a unique elegance and smooth smoking experience. Notes of cedar, vanilla and nuts are balanced by a sophisticated nod to the region by which the cigar was so heavily influenced.
