Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - Box of 25

I bought a couple of these and managed to refrain from smoking the first, choosing instead to lay it down in my humi for over a week. After lighting the cigar the initial taste was quite mild and creamy and I thought I was going to enjoy a fine cigar. Unfortunately after about 5 mins the taste became quite harsh and unpleasing. This lasted until about half way through the smoke when a surprising nice chocolate and coffee taste started to come through, however this was short lived and lasted for about 15mins. The rest of the cigar was again rather harsh an unpleasant and so I put it out earlier than I would have normally liked. This cigar had a number of burn problems and had to re-light it 5 -6 times which without doubt affected the taste due to its obvious construction problems. The 2nd was smoked a week later. This was much better and a completely different cigar it burned well was quite mild there was mild hints of coffee and a odd hint of spice but this smoke was not very complex.
