Macanudo Gold Label Cigars
Macanudo Gold Label cigars from our walk-in humidor in Yuma, Arizona: the 5¼ x 54 Duke of York, the Gold Label Crystal in its glass tube and the Ascot tin of ten. General Cigar first released Gold Label in 2002, and it now arrives as an annual release. Macanudo describes it as a limited line made only from first and second primings, leaves that receive less sun and so keep more of their natural flavor, color and texture. It is rolled at General Cigar Dominicana in the Dominican Republic and rated mild. Choose a single, a 5-pack, a box or the tin on each product page.

About Macanudo Gold Label Cigars
The Macanudo Gold Label blend

Blend details follow Cigar Coop's coverage of the 2024 release. Our Macanudo page describes Gold Label as a sweeter and mellower Connecticut shade cigar; what sets it apart from the classic Macanudo Café is that it uses only first and second primings. In the 2024 lineup the Ascot was the only Gold Label size packed in a tin; the Crystal is one of two Gold Label tubes, alongside the 5½ x 42 Hampton Court.

Choosing a Gold Label
- The robusto: the Duke of York, 5¼ x 54. Gold Label lists no size called Robusto, so this is its robusto-length cigar, 25 to a box.
- As a gift: the Gold Label Crystal, a 5½ x 50 in a glass crystal tube, mild, sweet and creamy with almonds and a bright, lemony edge.
- The short smoke: the Ascot tin, ten slim cigars just over four inches long.
More mild cigars from every brand are on mild cigars, more Connecticut wrappers on Connecticut Shade cigars, and more tubed cigars on tubo cigars.
What to pour with Macanudo Gold Label
We found no drink pairing from Macanudo for Gold Label, so these are our house suggestions from the bar: a coffee, an IPA or a light Irish whiskey. Our cigar and whiskey pairing guide keeps the house rule of mild with mild. In the lounge, ask the bar for a pour from the spirits menu.
Keeping them fresh
Store them at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity, in a humidor or a sealed bag with a two-way humidity pack; leave tubed cigars in their tubes until you smoke them. Every order ships with a Boveda humidity pack, and our cigar storage guide covers the rest.
