Montecristo Especial Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 25 August, 2024 by Paul

Had this for six months and was looking forward to trying this vitola. Poured a glass of beaujolais and sat in the sun in the garden. Unfortunately for 40 minutes I battled with it. Tight draw, loose wrapper and constant relight. Taste was there but so demanding to achieve. The last third was lovely, how I expected the rest to be!!! Not sure I will be tempted to try again which is a shame as the taste when it finally got going was delicious. To me the point of a cigar is to relax, this did not happen this time. Low score only for the hassle and poor construction. I understand this is just bad luck but review is based on my particular cigar only
