Montecristo Petit Tubos Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Friday 21 August, 2015 by James

The world famous Montecristo Petit Tubos. At first sight the tube is more impressive than the actual cigar. Probably due to it's brown and rather drab looking cigar label.

Looking at the cigar I did not feel there was anything to write home about, other than its typical grassy/barn yard smell and it being a well made cigar.

Once lit, the story changes.

On first impression I am hit with pepper and old leather, with very little trace of the initial barn yard smell I noticed prior to lighting.
The draw seems to be very good but the burn is a little thick and somewhat temperamental to start.

Half way through everything starts to even out, becoming a little more complex and full bodied while taking on a very obvious nutty flavour, yet still retaining the leathery notes which has now amalgamated with a very subtle peppermint freshness on the tip of the tongue.

All in all a very nice cigar, and much more complex than you would initially expect, reminding me of Hennnessy XO.
