Pre-light- As soon as I snipped off the beautifully constructed 3 seam cap and took a cold draw I knew I was in for a special treat. Even cold this stick filled my palette with light cedar, coffee and tobacco flavors.
I gave it a quick light and the fun really began! This is one of the last 8 of these stick I have from a box stamped 2007. AGE REALLY HELPS THESE STICKS! I brought this along with me to a friends "open Burn" night last night to see how it would stand up against some of the other goodies I have been smoking and also to gets some others opinions about it. Well, it below away many of my similar smokes and the crowd agreed this stick is amazing.
As soon as it hit it with flame, int he classic "monti" fashion your palette gets filled with cedar and coffee flavors. Due to the large ring gauge of this cigar it remains very cool and fresh on your palette from beginning to end. The predominate flavors range from the aforementioned cedar and coffee, to rich tobacco and vanilla notes. Its not at all spicy, but it is one of the most satisfying sticks on the market.
When i first tried these back in 2007, they were a bit strong but a few years of ago really mellowed the cigar out and improved the flavors amazingly. I cant wait to see what 5 years or better yet 10 years will do to this stick. I will recommend this if you decide to age one of these boxed for 3-7 years, buy 2 boxes, one to smoke and one to age. Once you have one of these it is VERY hard to stop smoking them and let them age.
The finish is tremendous, even on the ride home at least 30 minutes after i let this stick die out the cedar and Rich tobacco flavors lingered on my tongue. If you can get these BUY 'EM. they are worth every penny!
