Macanudo Emissary France: A Tribute to European Sophistication
The world of premium tobacco is constantly evolving, always looking for new experiences and origins that challenge the conventional. This year, Macanudo surprises us with Emissary France, a proposal that pays homage to the sophistication and art of good living that characterise French culture.
This launch follows the successful trail of Macanudo Emissary Spain, but this time the tobacco house takes us to Bordeaux, France, a region best known for its legendary wines, but which also offers a tobacco with a unique character.
An Exclusive Blend with French Roots
The Macanudo Emissary France is distinguished by the inclusion of Bordeaux-grown tobacco, a rare ingredient in the premium cigar industry, but one that brings refined nuances and a distinctive personality. This tobacco has been aged for four years, allowing it to develop a balanced and sophisticated aromatic profile.
This innovative ingredient is just one piece of the puzzle. To complete the experience, Macanudo has incorporated a selection of exceptional leaves:
• Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano tobacco aged for 10 years, providing spicy notes and an earthy richness.
• Binder: American broadleaf aged for 10 years, which adds depth, sweetness and body.
• Tripa: A masterful combination of aged tobaccos:
• Bordeaux, France (4 years) – A rare tobacco with possibly herbal or floral undertones.
• Brazilian Arapiraca (7 years) – Provides sweet and earthy notes.
• Dominican Pilot (10 years) – Adds spice and complexity.
• American Broadleaf (8 years) – Provides structure and robust character.
A Fusion of Art and Tradition
Macanudo describes this cigar as an expression of the refinement and elegance that define French culture. Its production process at the STG Danlí factory in Honduras guarantees the artisanal precision and quality characteristic of the brand.
Each smoke promises a sensorial journey where the richness of aged tobacco intertwines with the unexpected nuances of the French leaf, achieving a harmonious balance between smoothness, depth and aromatic complexity.
Recommended Pairings
To enhance the nuances of the Macanudo Emissary France, we suggest pairing it with high-end spirits that complement its elegant and structured profile:
• French Cognac – The perfect harmony, highlighting the sweet and spicy notes of the cigar.
• Bordeaux red wine – A natural pairing, where the tannins of the wine enhance the richness of the tobacco.
• Brut or extra brut Champagne – Ideal for contrasting the complexity of the cigar with freshness and refined bubbles.
• Speyside Whisky or Aged Bourbon – For those who prefer a more robust and enveloping companion.

This launch marks a new chapter in the evolution of premium tobacco, reaffirming that great cigars come not only from traditional tobacco-growing regions, but from any place where passion and the art of tobacco come together.
