The company behind the Madrigal Picador is Santa Clara Puros from Mexico. Santa Clara Puros might be better known, to some aficionados, for their Capa Flor line. The Madrigal Picador is a Mexican Puro and uses tobaccos that are aged from 2-3 years. Despite being a budget smoke and costing only 3 Euros, it is a Long Filler cigar sold in 10-count bundles.
Visually, the cigar is dressed in a rustic Maduro wrapper that has quite some tooth to it. There are no large veins present, and the construction appears to be good.
