Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll

The Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll is a limited-edition cigar that was developed as a collaboration between Macanudo and Flint Knoll, which is a winery located in the Napa Valley region of California. Flint Knoll is known for crafting small batch artisanal wines. The cigar is composed of a honey-hued Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper draped over a USA Connecticut Broadleaf binder and filler leaves from Brazil, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. The binder’s tobacco has been aged in French Oak barrels, which contained Flint Knoll’s single vineyard Cabernet wine. This time-tested aging process gives the cigar an added dimension to its already intricate smoking profile. The cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Wrapper Color
Natural
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.
Wrapper
Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
Binder
USA Connecticut Broadleaf
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
USA Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco is grown in the Connecticut River Valley area. The soil in this region is of glacial origins. The tobacco is dark, oily, flavorful, and aromatic. It is used primarily as a maduro wrapper, but it also serves as an excellent binder.
Filler
Brazil Mata Fina
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Brazil produces rich, medium to strong, dark tobaccos with a sweet taste and aroma. Most of the cigar production is concentrated on the eastern coast of Brazil, in the state of Bahia. Mata Fina tobacco is grown in a region in the Reconcavo Basin of the State of Bahia called Mata Fina (which translated means "thin plants"). Tobacco was one of the natural crops in the region.
Dominican Republic Olor
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Dominican Republic Piloto Cubano
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Jalapa
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

It's really not bad at all but to be honest Macanudo has better copies and at a lower price

Dallas H.05/13/2024About: Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll Churchill 7" * 52

I have been fortunate enough to be in a cigar club for more than 30 years and I have smoked cigars from the finest makes around the world….. the Macanudo Flint Knoll 7x52 is one of the finest I have ever smoked in my life (yes, better than a Cuban!!!)! Smooth with hits of vanilla and spice that will absolutely knock your socks off!! The draw is amazing and the burn is so uniform! Absolutely a masterful smoke!!!!

Very smooth with a fruity finish on the retrohail. It's very creamy with hints of oak.

JAO S.10/19/2023About: Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll Toro 6" * 54

Great smooth cigar.

Anthony U.10/18/2023About: Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll Toro 6" * 54

A delightful smoke! The tobaccos used in the Macanudo Flint Knoll are aged in wine barrels from the Flint Knoll Napa Valley Winery which creates a uniquely sweet smoke. They are worth a try!

Rich B.10/09/2023About: Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll Churchill 7" * 52

Elegant smoke. Mild to medium strength. Consistent burn throughout the cigar. Would I buy again? Most likely as a gift rather than for myself.

Robb Report best of 2023

JC11/10/2022About: Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll Toro 6" * 54

If you enjoy creamy, dense, fragrant smoke with a flavour profile of baking spices & oak, this is one to put in your rotation.

Not my thing

Chris M.10/27/2022About: Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll Churchill 7" * 52

I have no idea why this is over $22. Perhaps it needs months or years in a humidor but it didn't impress. The final third had some good aromatics but not enough to justify the price tag.
