Montecristo Petit Tubos Cigar - 1 Single
by Joshua
I found this cigar to be very well constructed, easy to light and experienced no issues keeping it alight. This coupled with an excellent draw and plenty of smoke made it a trouble free experience, but not one I'd personally go for again. This cigar came with a reputation of consistency, and in this instance I found that to be a bit of a handicap, finding the smoke somewhat uninspiring, with little excitement, but then I suppose that does come hand in hand with consistency, however! All in all, a good, well built smoke, but not the most exciting.

WOW, really enjoyed this one, (if you read my review on the Sancho Belicosos you probably said , "theres no pleaseing this guy" ) well this one is now going to be one of my regulars.
Excellent flavor, lightly spicy(not overbearing,would say its a light side medium), definately some cocoa and expresso hints in here that made it a pleasure to taste, and was never to rough through out the whole smoke (down to the nub)medium spicyness on finish.
Burn was nice and even and at a good pace, aroma is a tad stronger but pleasing. Smoke production was PERFECT!
If you want a 35-45 minute smoke that you want some flavor but don't want you eyes bugging out when you finish. Its good with literally anything from bottled water to a fine burgundy or Scotch. (mine was with a plain coffee and was great, second one was with a glass of ice water and lemon....again great) then definately worth buying a couple to try.

Flavor:Mild,
Burn: average to good, slower than normal
Draw: Poor to low, rather hard
Notes: mild vanilla,just a hint of a nutmeg finish but mainly light cocoa, no citrus at all unfortunatly,would need a strong drink to even think of buying this one again(Talisker maybe?) was not consistent with prior Sancho's I've had, thus the disappointing review.

What an excellent little cigar ! I am still finding my feet with this cigar smoking lark so am trying differant brands . Read the reviews about this so thought I would give them a go . Experts will tell you it's got hints of this and hints of that , all I know it has nice smooth taste a nice easy draw and a lovely creamy smoke , if you are a beginner like me you can't go wrong with this ( the price is a bonus !!) They are that good I have just ordered 10 more , can't wait to get my hands on them !

Based on a very pleasant and surprising experience of this companies Torpedos, I decided to give these a go. Like the Torpedo nice brown wrapper some thin veins, things started off well good draw, even burn and pleasant taste. About the half way point became bitter, the burn became uneven and the ash flakey, this did not last long and it returned to being a good smoke. To be fair I tried it upon receipt, the rest of the order are in the humidor and time well tell, construction is ok and maybe a few months in the humidor will improve them.

Not a bad all rounder this one, smokes well, solid medium flavour throughout, spicy little kick at the end!, (for the money the H Upmann coronas jnr is a better cigar.)
