Montecruz Negra Cubana

I ended up finding this cigar kinda by accident. I found them, on sale, because Montecruz was about to update their logo and merchandising. So the stock that was on-hand had to be liquidated in order to make room for the new, updated version. I bought a box of them for several reasons; they were gonna be ‘giveaways’ at a party being attended by both regular cigar smokers and those that might just take a couple of drags and toss the rest.

All that to say, we were very surprised and pleased with the outcome of our blind buy. There have been a couple of duds amongst the box we bought. The flavor was a little too bitter for my taste, but judging from the reaction of the crowd, they were still enjoyable. The overall size of the stick mixed with the purchase price, didn’t lock you into a lengthy committment that other cigars might command.

Generally speaking, the draw was marginally harder (I’ve had some issues keeping them lit) but the burn was still good and even.
