The Macanudo Gold Label Cigars are made with golden wrapper leaves from the first and second primings of Macanudo's specially grown Connecticut Shade crop. This special tobacco know as Capa Especial gives Macanudo Gold Label cigars a natural sweetness not found in any other Macanudo. Macanudo Gold Label cigars use a mix of 1998 Piloto Cubano and Mexican filler tobaccos. Next up is a 1998 Mexican San Andrean Binder leaf. To top it all off is the Capa Especial, which is a low yeild crop of Golden Connecticut shade wrapper. Bottom line on this great smoke is that it is Smooth and naturally sweet.
