These Macanudo's has a smooth and sweet tobacco taste and are a realatively quick smoke for a person on a trip. It took me roughly 30 min. to smoke and enjoy these smokes, I have three left and am probably going to finish them off this week. I am going to try and find some of these Macanudo Ascots in Cafe Creme and see how they compare enjoyability-wise. This particular brand is made in the Dominican Republic. Like I said, a good quick smoke for those on a trip.
