Cohiba and Macanudo are both well-respected brands and enjoyed by many cigar lovers. When I first started smoking cigars, Macanudo Cafe was one of the first ones I would smoke regularly.
Now, I still enjoy Macaundos, but personally, I prefer stronger cigars like Cohibas. Cohiba Nicaragua is one of my favorite cigars.
There are many cigar smokers who have been smoking for decades though, and prefer more mellow cigars such as Macanudo or Ashton. In the end, it’s a matter of personal perference.
Which is Better: Cohiba or Macanudo?
Cohiba cigars are better than Macanudo cigars if you prefer strong cigars.
If you prefer more mellow cigars, then you’ll probably like Macanudo more than Cohiba,
When it comes to price, there are cigars available from both brands in an afforable range, but overall Macanudo tends to be less expensive.
