The Selection by Meerapfel Machetero Short Robusto
- Size: 3 3/4 x 50
- Strength: Medium
The Machetero line is meant to honor the farm workers who cultivate tobacco—hence the name Machetero, which refers to the workers wielding machetes in the fields. It’s positioned as the most rustic and approachable of Meerapfel’s “Master Blend” series, sitting below their more opulent editions like the “Richard” or “Ernesto.”
Flavor notes include cedar, exotic spices, floral undertones, roasted nuts, and a touch of sweetness from the Cameroon wrapper.
Nestled in the heart of Europe, Meerapfel Companies has established itself as a global leader in the world of premium cigar products.

This was ‘meh’ ordinary, nothing to get excited about. Affordable everyday smoke.

I actually ordered the Machetero Exclusiva Short Robusto and got this one instead. I still paid the higher price so that’s annoying. One day Cigar Chief will get my order correct…. Anyway, the smoke is very nice. Creamy and smooth. Nice winter smoke with a coffee. I’ll try ordering these next time but who know what I’ll end up getting lol

This starts out shortly to be a little spicy. Has flavors of wood, nuts and has a very light hint of flora, it also has a little sweetness to it. Someone commented that the smoke smells kind of like cedar. We both thought the wrapper looked kind of rough and did tear a tad getting it out of the cellophane. Took less than an hour smoke.
Overall I did like this, not my favorite as its about my limit for spiciness but an interesting enough smoke.
