Macanudo With Barrel-Aged Binder Making Third And Final Appearance
The third and final release of the Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll will be arriving on October 10. The cigar features binder tobacco aged in an oak wine barrel that once held Cabernet Sauvignon from the Flint Knoll Winery in California’s Napa Valley. The idea is not only to create a synergistic pairing between the wine and the cigar, but also for the barrel to impart a distinct quality to the tobacco.
Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll first 2023 release, which used barrels from the 2019 vintage. According to Flint Knoll’s founder, Aaron Michaelis, the differences are notable.
“2021 was a special year for Napa Valley wine” he says. “A lack of rain and lower temperatures brought us an ultra-rare vintage, and you can taste the subtleties in the tobaccos aged in the same barrels.”
The Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll No. 3 measures 7 inches by 52 ring gauge and comes in a 10-count box. The cigars were made at the General Cigar Dominicana factory in the Dominican Republic and have a suggested retail price of $19.99 each.
