The Presentation: First and foremost the presentation of this cigar is impeccable. The bands that encapsulate this cigar are elegant and tasteful while remaining simplistic in its design. The Draw: The draw of this cigar was refreshingly smooth. The open airflow allowed for a perfectly satisfying amount of smoke while maximizing the delightful taste profile of this cigar. The Construction: One of the high points of this cigar is it's construction. No apparent flaws, such as cracks or deformities, were found on the wrapper. The burn stayed refreshingly even and did not require any touching up during the entirety of my smoking experience. The Taste: Those few opening puffs were a shockingly delightful introduction to this Montecristo. The earthiness of this cigar blended perfectly with hints of wood/cedar while accentuating it's natural sweetness. The following puffs established a trace of pleasant spice notes, which remained for the entirety of the first third and perfectly demonstrated this cigar's complexity. The middle portion of the Montecristo contained an intensification of the wood hints which were accompanied with a pleasant nutty aftertaste. The oils of the cigar also grew more intense as the cigar began to entertain a darker more oily taste that is typically found in maduro shades. The final act of this cigar finishes with a bold oily and charred wood flavor profile that highlights the natural sweetness and nuttiness left in the cigar. The retro-hale calls to attention the slight undertones of the aforementioned nuttiness and sweetness. Overall: This beautiful cigar accentuates a dark and earthy taste while entertaining some natural sweetness and overall nuttiness. The complexity of the flavor profile is assisted by the excellent construction keeping the cigar consistent and wildly enjoyable. Picked on 05/08/2025
