First introduced in 1998, the original Macanudo Robust cigar was produced for those Macanudo fans looking for a little bit more bite in their cigars. Macanudo Robust was an immediate success offering consumers a fuller-tasting version of Macanudo cigar, rich in flavor and medium bodied. Over the next five years, consumer's tastes evolved and Macanudo Robust changed to meet the expectations of the Macanudo smoker. The new Macanudo Robust, introduced in 2003, offers consumers an even fuller-bodied version of Macanudo that is more flavorful and complex.
 
Carefully crafted by Cigar Master, Daniel Nuñez, the new Macanudo Robust is a blend constructed with only the darkest Connecticut Shade wrapper grown on Macanudo-owned Connecticut River Valley farms. To achieve a more flavorful cigar, Daniel combines the sweetness of a Connecticut Broadleaf binder with a fuller-flavored blend of Dominican, Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Every size of Macanudo Robust now comes square-pressed. 
 
Macanudo Robust is now more flavorful than ever while still capturing the quality and consistency that consumers expect from the Macanudo brand. Macanudo, An American Passion.
