As I enjoy the Chinchalero range, I was looking forward to this cigar and thought it would be slightly stronger and possibly even more flavoursome. Sadly I did not find this, and actually thought it was quite bland.

Tried one of these on the off chance,and was pleasantly surprised.Loved the taste profile,very spicy almost peppery,and seemed to grow in strength and richness,would definately say it was towards the fuller end of medium.Nice construction,perfect burn,and was absolutely perfect with the 12 year old Redbreast Irish Whiskey,I enjoyed with it,lovely burnt caramel edge.Well worth a try,excellent value,and I will certainly purchase again.

If you can get your hands on a few aged R y J Belicosos,then you are in for a bit of a treat.Having been a long time fan of these,I have been disappointed with the releases for some time.Pre 2000,these were,earthy,spicy,woody little numbers,with depth and blend complexity,but over the past few years the quality has fallen.Still worth a try though if you are fond of the milder blends.

I love these little beauties,which are in my humble opinion,just about the best petit corona around at present.Perfect construction,even burn,creamy mouthfeel,with touches of caramel,coffee and cedar,and enough complexity to keep the interest.Just finished one with a glass of Bushmills Millenium Irish Whiskey,there is a god.

Montecristo No. 1 Cigar - 1 Single
by Benedetto
Always a big fan of the no. 4, my first time with the no. 1. My brother in law brought some over for Easter Sunday dinner, Purchased at Robert Grahams in Edinburgh. They say what you eat and drink before your cigar changes the experience... Scallops followed by roast lamb washed down with full bodied red wine and mature cheese, finished with virage port and a Monte No.1. Wow! pouring outside, so the kitchen is now cloudy with the fragrant sublime smoke from these beauties. I will definitely be getting some more of these. Pronounced hints of vanilla and chocolate, getting stronger and spicier towards the end. A delight from start to finish. Cheers bro!
