| In an increasingly divided world, where the defenders of mild cigars trumpet subtle and |
| sophisticated complexities to fend off the next onslaught of the "strongest ever" |
| claims heralded by the champions of powerful stogies, sticks like the Top-25 |
| rated Macanudo Cru Royale cigar stand astride the middle ground in relative |
| comfort and quiet. Reaching out to smokers who prefer bold, modern |
| flavors without a head-buzz, legendary General Cigar blender Benji Menendez marshaled a |
| mix of tobaccos from the Dominican, Brazil, and Nicaragua into a proprietary "La |
| Vega Especial" binder from the D.R. and placed it all under the influence of |
| an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. |

| The 6" x 54 Macanudo Cru Royale Toro is different in flavor and body than the cafe line that |
| most associate with the brand. More complex in flavor and also in body, Cru |
| Royale is a medium-bodied cigar. Starting off with a slight bit of spice, the |
| more you smoke, the more that spice is toned down for an amazing combination |
| of earth, cedar, and nuttiness. Each puff you take seems to introduce |
| new flavors, but none overpowers the last. What you are left with is a |
| toro that is constantly changing. |

|
|
| Classy yet approachable, the Macanudo Cru Royale can be enjoyed by most smokers, especially |
| those who enjoy cigars like the medium-bodied 5 Vegas Classics or Joya |
| de Nicaragua Cabinetta. |
