The Macanudo Inspirado Orange Cigarillo started as a European exclusive in 2014 — a bolder, more complex Macanudo built to compete in the Cuban-dominated international market. It landed in the U.S. in 2016, earned a spot in Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of the Year in 2017, and has been a staple of the Inspirado line ever since. The 10-count tin brings that same award-winning blend into a format built for convenience — pocket-sized, crush-proof, and ready whenever you have 20 minutes and the right moment.
Handcrafted at STG Danlí in Honduras, the Cigarillo is built with the same tobacco as the full-sized Inspirado Orange — a cinnamon-hued Honduran wrapper over a Honduran binder, with an aged blend of Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan long-filler underneath. The all-Honduran wrapper and binder combination gives the Cigarillo a clean, even burn that stays consistent across the short format, while the three-country filler delivers more complexity than the size suggests. Construction is tight for a cigarillo, with a smooth draw and a burn that moves at a reasonable pace without rushing.
The result is a rich, medium-bodied profile of peppery spice, hazelnut, cedar, caramel, earth, and creamy leather — the kind of experience that rewards smokers who pick these up expecting a quick, forgettable smoke and find something considerably better. Ten to a tin, priced right, and worth keeping in the car, the golf bag, or anywhere else a 20-minute window might present itself.
