Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - Box of 10

Date Added: Friday 11 February, 2022 by Toby

First cigar of my Cuban sampler pack. Im a total novice so probably didnt pick up on the minute detail. But I will give a review a go. Felt good in the hand and the smell was mild and inoffensive. To me just smelt like a decent cigar. It lit well, although my inexperience probably shone through with the lighting and actually the first couple of puffs were a bit harsh I felt. However it soon settled down. I got the occasional creamy note and good fresh grassy hints. Generally speaking it was a good 25-30mins spent walking by the river on a sunny day. Smoked it down to the label and that was enough. Probably missed out on those last 3rd notes but all in all enjoyable. Good burn and no need to relight. Nice smoke production and good ash. Would buy another 👍

First third wasnt to my taste as it was quite peppery , second third had grassy and leathery notes, final third quite pleasant with mellow nutty notes. Burnt well, Ash held up very well, last around 30 mins. All in all, not to my taste but certainly not a bad cigar.

Excellent cigar. Full of flavour and a good draw. Would buy again. Smoked in about 20 mins.

Very disappointed with this one, but its a learning curve to a new smoker. The draw on this was FAR too tight to get any flavour profiles, occasionally I had a hint of what it had to offer, but unfortunately this was marred by the tightness and lack of smoke. This was a real shame, especially for 11 pounds, as the little hints of flavour were very enjoyable. But at least I know to avoid it in the future.

Im a relative novice and this is my first review of my 5th cigar. Really tried to take my time with it after reading some articles about enhancing enjoyment and it paid off. First third was lovely and gave me toasted nutty flavours and a hint of vanilla. I paired it with a 12 year old Aberlour which made it quite sweet on my palate in the middle third. I may have been going a bit too slow as it went out just before the band and was quite bitter for the first draw after relighting. Last 3rd was quite grassy with hints of hay and and tangy on the tongue. This has been my favourite so far and gave me 35 minutes of enjoyment. The products arrived promptly and in pristine condition after ordering.
