Hi Folks,
I am pretty new at rating smokes and am just getting into figuring out
the tastes and different nuances in each type. I tried a Macanudo
Maduro Ascot. I liked it very much and went looking for info on it and
couldn't find much.

How would people describe a smoke like this for example in terms of
strength and taste and overall satisfaction with the smoke. I am
mentioning this as an example because I have had easier acces to these
smokes.

I have been lurking and learning here and reading things here like
"chocolate on the palate" or "spicy, nutty aftertaste" or "leathery
overtones" and am not sure if I understand how to apply that to the
smoke.

I also have had the chance to try some of the cubans like the Cohiba
Robusto and the cuban Romeo and Julietta as well as the Guantanamera
and the Jose Piedra (the Piedra's I just thought were pretty awful
except for the petit brava I think it was).

I am in Canada where we can get cuban smokes but where the prices are
so high you can't even consider them. Plus, I have noticed that we
don't seem to get the same variety of smokes that you folks get in the
US. I am envious.

Anyway thanks for a great group and for any feedback you have on this
Macanudo Maduro Ascot.

I would describe the Ascot as as mild smoke, decent taste without a lot of
complexity. Good for a short smoke when you don't have a lot of time or
energy to spend on concentrating on your cigar.

I used to smoke those, and like them. I would now describe the Ascot as
one run above the Garcia y Vega Whiff. OK, not above *fresh* Garcia y
Vega Whiffs....

Welcome to A.S.C

Macanudos are usually considered to be mild and of excellent
construction. They are often recommended for rookie
smokers.
