Macanudo maduro generally good or bad? opinions?

I had one because it was gifted to me. I didn't think it was downright horrible, but it was bland. Typical Macanudo. Toasty flavors, not much else. I feel, the only thing they're good for is a golf course cigar, when you don't really have the effort to focus on your cigar, but for the price, there are better golf course sticks out there.

I've found all the macanudo i'v smoked to be pretty flat tasting, though i havent had the maduro. Montecristo is kind of the same way in my book. The Monte White isnt too bad, think 5 vegas gold with a wee bit more flavor. The Medianoche was pretty kick ass. Amazing how sometimes you're really just paying for a name(my opinion).

Media Noche is from Montecristo, it's a dark maduro, i liked it a lot. I LOVE the 5 Vegas A! Smooth, flavorful maduro, light cedar flavor, and at a terrific price. I always have those on hand.

Macanudo gold I found pretty good

I've had two and both time they were very pinish or woody with well flat... as some would say. I like mild cigars but I wouldn't say a Mac fits that well I guess it just doesn't fit my profile. Now a gurkha turk or vegas gold those are good mild cigars. at least to me.

Bacon, those Ashtons are smooth and mellow anyway, that's just how they roll. I've had one with a year on it, and it was wonderful. The 5 Vegas Gold and Cusano Double Conn. are both very good mild cigars in my opinion, I'd say the Cusano is a bit more flavorful than the Gold, but I really like them both.

i'm prolly gonna have to make the 5 vegas and the cusano some of the ones in my next order.

the turk I thought had more of a complex flavor profile than the vegas gold, I can't recall the cusano but I don't think I was overly impressed. Ashton is a great line. I Haven't had the cabinet selection yet, but I have one sitting. All of the rest of them I do like, especially the VSG. The esg is just not worth the price in my eyes. I haven't had the 21 year salute but rob's review didn't want me to chuck up 30 or so dollars to see. I was surprised in the VSG as I haven't been to keen on the sun grown stuff. Ashton did something right.

I had the diplomat (fiurado) and loved it.  I bought 6 more and a prince phillip.  I didn't enjoy the prince phillip, but the diplomats rock!

I just smoked a prince phillip on friday evening. And I have to say, for the first time I didn't enjoy the smoke. The draw was WAAAY to tight. I had to puff on it so hard that the cigar got really hot, basically I had to get rid of it half way. I was very disappointed, I bought of box of these and this was the first time I ever had this issue. I hope it was just a one time thing.

Generally not a big fan of Macanudo. However, I just had a Mac Maduro diplomat, and i really enjoyed it. smoked it until it burned my lips.

Honestly, while I don't care for macs I did find this one to be more flavorful than the usual "blah" macs

I didn't mind this stick. For the price its pretty good value. It would be a great value to me if it wasn't for the Ccom maduro.

I have a soft spot for Macanudo Maduros...when I first started smoking, it was the first cigar that made me realize I really liked cigars and wanted to get more into it. Consistent, mellow and toasty...a great cigar for a newbie. At this point tho, having grown older and wiser with a more developed palate, I don't really go back to that smoke unless I am trying to re-discover the brand in general. I am however tho, a huge maduro fan in general. The 5 Vegas Maduro is next on deck for me.
