Montecristo Media Corona Cigar - Tin of 5

Date Added: Saturday 09 April, 2016 by Chris

Until now my opinion of Montecristo cigars was somewhat negative. I'd tried a couple but with bad results. The first was a "tubed," no. 4 which I smoked only half of and then left because I didn't enjoy it whatsoever, maybe it was a dud.The second was from the "Open," range and again I wasn't impressed at all so it was with trepidation that I approached this cigar. It was, however, third time lucky. Right from the start I knew this was something special. Wonderful mellow flavours that only a Cuban can provide. In the past I'd tried the H. Uppmann version but this is the "real deal." Could become my cigar of choice. Thoroughly recommended. I must now try the Petit Edmundo though.

First time smoking this cigar, and it was.. OK. The construction of this cigar is great so no problems there, completed this in about 25 minutes, only ashed out twice and pared this with some coffee in the morning. For me though it lacked in flavour, I mainly picked up some sharp pepper on the lips that faded quickly, a slight grass and hay aroma, and a very flat earthly tobacco throughout, not much change. My only gripe with this cigar unfortunately was that moments after finishing it my mouth felt very dry, almost like drinking gin and tonic and having that overall dry sensation, which I didn;t expect. I personally wouldn't pick this up again, but i think if was aged for a few weeks or months maybe some flavours could of matured

The Montecristo Media Corona (Half Corona) has now arrived and of course, we had to sample this one as well. This size is becoming more and more popular since we first saw the H. Upmann Half Corona and this really does show you why. Fantastic little smokes for when time is short, plenty of classic Montecristo flavours and just look at those wrappers! Medium in strength, this cigar is perfect for a breakfast smoke with a nice cup of coffee. Of course, they are also sporting the new Montecristo band, which is subtly different but still a vast improvement.
