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.

Montecristo Petit Tubos Cigar - 1 Single
by Daniel
Quite smooth early doors progressing into a nice spicy kick at the end. Not a bad little smoke at all!

For the money I love these for quick 10-15 minute smoke. Lovely woody, sweet flavour with no bitter aftertaste. I kept licking my lips after to relive the taste!

Quite a good smoke but made my head spin (hence the 2 ) . Prefer R & J Cedros de luxe No 3

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.

Enjoyed on a Sunday afternoon after a BBQ.
Slow burning, smooth cigar. Plenty of flavour, very well constructed, and easy to light & draw.
After tastes of wood, leather, and subtle hints of coffee / cocoa.
Would definately buy again as a "staple" smoke.
