Prior to this debut, Macanudo has only released 5 editions of the Vintage line since 1979.

The 2000 model comes in four classic sizes, each in their own glass tube. If you are looking for the ultimate in presentation and class, this is the cigar for you. Macanudo is the best selling brand in the US and is rolled completely by hand in the Dominican Republic. For years it has been a go to cigar for rookies and aficionados alike. People are drawn to its uncompromising quality and consistency.
