Earlier this year, Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) announced that it was expanding the Macanudo Inspirado. If you live in the U.S. and aren’t familiar with the Macanudo Inspirado, it’s not surprising; the line is sold exclusively outside of the U.S. It was introduced in May 2014 in Europe and Canada and while the name is familiar, the blend is quite different than what most American consumers will associate with Macanudo. It uses a rosada leaf grown in San Agustin, Honduras, a binder from the Jamastran Valley in Honduras and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua. It launched with four sizes: Gigante (6 x 60), Minutos (4 3/8 x 42), Petit Piramide (4 1/2 x 50) and Robusto (5 x 50). Earlier this year, the company added two new sizes, a 6 x 54 Piramide and a 4 1/2 x 38/60/44 double figurado known as the Diplomat. Four sizes are sold in boxes of 10, while the Minutos and Petit Piramide come in boxes of 20.
