Quintessential Montecristo flavour, not strong, even mild before the second third, it can be scorching for the finale. What an evolution, this cigar even when strong, is never harsh. What a wonderful expression of elegance and true example of higher skills. Every stick in the box was perfectly straight and expertly wrapped using very delicate leaves. The draw, considering length, is almost always spot on. A sweet, long and flavorful experience and the mark of a true aficionado.
