Macanudo Gold Label is back for a limited time, featuring its signature golden wrapper and unmistakably smooth flavor profile. For 2025, the fan-favorite lineup adds a new vitola with the release of Gold Torpedo—a 6.5” x 52 frontmark available in limited quantities.

What sets Gold Label apart is its exceptional Connecticut Shade Capa Especial wrapper, drawn exclusively from the first and second primings of the tobacco plant. These lower leaves receive less sunlight, allowing them to retain more natural sugars, yielding a wrapper that is lighter in color, sweeter in taste and silkier in texture. The result is a cigar that delivers a uniquely creamy, mellow smoking experience.

The full blend features a Connecticut Shade (Capa Especial) wrapper, a Mexican binder also pulled from the plant’s first and second primings, and a filler blend of Mexican and Dominican tobaccos. Together, they create a profile that’s smooth, nuanced and approachable.

Matt Wilson, Senior Brand Manager for Macanudo, said, “Macanudo Gold Label has always been a fan favorite, and it’s a release we’re proud to bring back each year. As always, we’ve incorporated the first and second primings of the Mexican San Andrés binder to deliver an even more elevated smoking experience. Pairing that with a torpedo vitola gives the blend a new dimension while staying true to the mellow, creamy profile fans expect from Gold Label.”

Macanudo Gold Label is handcrafted at the General Cigar Dominicana in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
