Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Liviu
A brilliant cigar! the smell is amazing, easy draw, even burn, never had to relight it despite the weather being windy. Although it is labelled as a medium to full, it did not come across that way. The flavour profile has hints of coffee, cocoa and that is why I paired with a nice expresso. Before smoking it, I kept my cigar in the humidor for around a week at 67% humidity. 10 out of 10.

This was a Father’s Day present to myself. I usually go for a more full bodied cigar, but this didn’t disappoint. A little fuller than medium to me. Which was good. Very smooth very well rolled with nice easy draw which I prefer. I used the v cutter to start with but was better with two cuts forming a cross. Full of flavour from start to finish. Rivals a Cubans for me. This would be my choice. I did need to touch it up half way when I made the second cut, but that only improved my experience.

Nice cigar and paired nicely with a wine makers Rioja. Hints of leather and pepper and a woody overtone. Lots of creamy smoke. Only downside was it kept going out and an uneven burn and had to re-light a few times. I V cut this and did not have to do anything else to it. 4 out of 5 for me and good for the price.

For a budget cigar this was very good. Starts off very smooth. Vanilla, creamy and nutty. Turns slightly bitter and darker as you progress through the second and third part of the cigar. Slightly spicy through the retro hale. Wrapper fell apart the last 3rd but didnt effect the smoking experience. Would definitely recommend for a beginner. Would definitely buy again at the price. Lasted an hour.

I dropped into the St. James's shop this afternoon and having never smoked a pure Peruvian cigar, I thought I would have a seat and try it. The cigar appeared to be well constructed with some vein visible, but over all this did not detract from the visual appeal. Initially the burn was even, but after the first half became uneven and went out a few times. There is a harshness in this cigar that overall makes it not really pleasant.
