About this cigar
Macanudo has spent four decades proving that a mild cigar can command respect. The Cafe Portofino is the brand's answer to retailers and lounges seeking a reliable, approachable offering that doesn't sacrifice nuance. Built on a Connecticut shade wrapper with a Dominican and Mexican core, this petit corona trades intensity for precision. The smoke opens with subtle cedar and a creamy sweetness that emerges without cloyingness, finishing clean with notes of light spice and toasted almond. The Portofino's 4.5 inch format makes it the kind of cigar that moves through a shift change or serves as an aperitif before dinner. Expect a forty-five minute smoke of consistent burn and pale ash. This is the cigar your guests reach for when they want flavor without commitment, when they're between meetings or winding down at day's end. For lounge owners, the Cafe line remains one of the steadiest performers in the mild segment, equally at home in a golf course pro shop or a hotel lobby humidor.
