This is very light in flavour, very smooth and slightly sweet. Construction is a bit tighter than the hand-rolled cigars I've had, but I didn't have any problems with draw. It's pleasant enough, but I'm not fully convinced.

Montecristo Open J Cigar - 1 Single
by Peter
Just finished smoking this cigar which was a very fine smoke all the way until the end when it got a bit hot. Nevertheless, I'll be buying this one again.

WOW! What a fantastic cigar. A lovely smooth 1.5 hours smoke with lovely smoke and strong ash. A really well made beautiful looking cigar which burned well to the end. I experienced strong nutty, coffee flavours with a slight spicy hit towards the end. It was more towards the medium end of the strength spectrum rather than full. Overall an excellent cigar. I might consider buying a box at some point.

I've seen these described as the mildest of the Bolivar range being merely Medium Bodied. I'd had one of these in my humidor for quite a few months just waiting for a suitable occasion on which to indulge and after winning a particularly tricky game of bowls I decided that such a time had arrived.
The construction, burn and draw were all faultless and the flavours were first rate.
All in all an excellent cigar.
Any chance of a shorter version, Simon?

This was the first drew estate cigar that I have smoked. I was a little apprehensive at first thinking they are a gimmicky brand. The cigar arrived with my very small order (taking advantage of the free delivery in the flash sale) and was one of two smokes I had ordered for something different for the weekend. Upon opening the package I was very pleasantly surprised, what a fantastic looking smoke! A smooth dark wrapper, with one pronounced vein running the length. The smell was fantastic, almost sweet to my nose. It was a firm cigar but nothing to put any worries in my head that it wouldn't draw well. It cut cleanly and lit well producing plumes of smoke on the first draw. The first third of this cigar I found quite bland, it didn't really give me any flavours of particular note, maybe an earthy woody flavour. The 2nd third was prodimently pepper and seeing as I love a peppery cigar I was really starting to enjoy it, it held its ash well, a lovely clean looking ash it was too. The 3rd third the taste turned to leather with a lingering of pepper, still drawing well and producing huge

I have smoked many of these, and although they are a bit sweet to start which I now quite like they, develop into a a complex and mature smoke. Bystanders are amazed by the aroma, and the butt smells amazing. They are by far the best cigars I have smoked in 20 years. I have filled my humidor with these for my everyday smoke. Good value for money.
