Why do most people seem to have a negative opinion of Macanudos?

Based on what you wrote, you're trying to exert some male dominance and gain recognition.

It's natural. Don't worry about it.

Probably not a battle worth fighting though, it'll most likely cost you more in the relationship than it's worth. So what if he likes Macanudos. Let him like them. Why try and change him, he's happy with what he's doing and smoking.

If you feel you must try and prove something to him, I would recommend gifting him a high end or vintage Macanudo (like one of the old Jamaican Macanudos) and not making a big deal out of it. But don't be surprised or disappointed if someone as stubborn as you imply him to be, might simply automatically discount your gift as "Crap" or is so set in his ways and tastes that any deviation from his normal flavor profile is "Crap".

Some things are just best left be.

Yessir freshly turned 19. Not feeling much male dominance either though, what you bolded is all true, I would like to show him I know a little bit about cigars despite my young age. Not by any means trying to tell him Macanudos are bad or that he should change his tastes, but find him a few more cigars that he would like because he picked up a Macanudo and closed himself off to other cigars. I dont see anything wrong with that, and most certainly not trying to dominate him or overpower him in any way. We have a very healthy relationship and would never let it be damaged over a cigar. Actually we've never even been in a heated arguement over one. Im not planning on kicking down his door and demand that he put down the Macanudo and come out with his hands up or anything along those lines.
