Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Monday 11 November, 2019 by Frankie

There are a lot of reviews about this cigar, but I thought that I would chuck my hat in the ring and offer an opinion. This particular cigar was one that rekindled my love affair with cigars. I have smoked a few of these in my time, and generally other than an odd tight draw which really does grind my gears, this cigar has been a benchmark for me.

This particular cigar was tbh, lacking of that signature whiff that just makes me go weak at the knees. I am not sure how long this has sat for, and do not claim to be an aficionado, I just wished that it had more punch. Maybe I was having an off day?

The wrap was good, and after a slight toast she fired up. The burn was even, clean, and consistent other than a bit of dark ash at the beginning of the first 3rd, she settled down nice. As for taste the first 3rd was quite uneventful tbh. I was waiting for the flavour but it only started developing when I hit the halfway mark.

Body was bordering on full with this one, and she is strong. But did not give me that chill that some cheaper alternatives have gave me lately. Which is interesting to say the least.

The draw on this one, was really good, a bit too loose for me and I love a loose one, so she burned quick.

In conclusion, she is still up there for me but tbh, this particular stick was a bit too bland for me. And when I hit the last 3rd, she got a bit more interesting then just went out and that was that. There was no second coming, and I let her die a graceful death.

Yes I will be back for more, but she just didnt scratch that itch.
