Montecristo Especial Cigar - 1 Single
by Austin
The mid-late 2018 boxes have been particularly amazing and well-constructed. They tend to draw far more easily and consistently than in the past these days. Sometimes a little firm on the draw, as is kind of how they should be really, but still producing plenty of smoke and the flavours are all there. Rich, complex and showing great legs for aging. Predominantly woodsy, creamy coffee, baking chocolate, gingerbread and hints of cinnamon and citrus. They start mellow and subtle and slowly develop through the length of the cigar to the darker flavours. Still some power in the final third but smoked to the nub before getting at all hot. Magnificent cigars, often overlooked along with the also excellent Especial No.2.

Good draws on all of these so far, thank goodness. And the flavours are out of this world! Rich yet delicate, creamy with a touch of pepper and exotic spice. Layers of woods, fresh ground coffee beans, cream and cocoa with hints of citrus, nutmeg and cinnamon. A slow and subtle progression of strength into the final third where I was surprised further with a little sweet but dark leather and a touch of shortbread and clove. These still have plenty of strength and richness in the back half to indicate they will only get better and better with more age too. All are smoking to my fingertips before getting hot. Milk chocolate wrappers and gorgeous format. Heavenly box aroma. Pure class and highly underrated cigars. Box code: REG JUL 18

Very impressed by what I experienced and love the box-pressed shape.. This cigar had a great draw and burnt pretty evenly.
In the first 3rd I got some of the classic tobacco notes mostly, along with some hay and pepper in the background, which took me into the middle 3rd where the pepper notes became slightly stronger (but not overpowering), and followed by some earth. In the final 3rd the middle 3rds notes carried along but I also seemed to pick up some raisin notes which was pretty pleasant.
For the price you cant really go wrong with these!
