Blackbird Macaw Limited Edition
The Blackbird Macaw Limited Edition is the brand’s inaugural limited-edition premium cigar—a complex and bold 5 1/8 x 58 box-pressed Gordo hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic. This striking blend draws on tobaccos from four countries, fusing the dark-chocolatey Cuban-seed Brazilian wrapper of Blackbird’s Cuco and Unkind lines with an Indonesian binder (from the Rook) and an inventive filler mix featuring Pennsylvania leaf, and three Dominican-grown varieties: Corojo, Criollo 98, and Piloto Cubano. Only 500 boxes of 14 cigars were produced, making Macaw a true boutique collector’s trophy.
