Smoke: Montecristo Sevens
Drink: Yuengling Black & Tans off the tap(s)
Tunes: (trying to butch it up here): Smashing Pumpkins ~ Gish; Slipknot ~ All Hope is Gone

Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Brazil, Dominican
Draw: Medium to tight
Burn: Burned perfect
Misc: 120min

Pre-light: Cedar sleeve. Mottled medium brown with dark brown swirly wrapper. Good tobacco scent. A little spicy on the prelight flavor.



Light: Good. Medium to tight draw.

1st 3rd: Good leather flavor. Oily. It has a real thick mouth feel to the smoke. Its really dense, the flavors. A sweet tobacco ring to it.



Ash: Nice stacked medium gray. Yellow twinge at the end.



2nd 3rd: Same flavors. Leathery & dense oily tastes. The sweet tobacco is dying down a bit. Maybe some woodsy now. A little spice too. Has a bitter taste mixed in.



3rd 3rd: Needed a good purge at this point. Same profile. Kind of tough to keep it cleared up down at this point. Getting some ash flavors now. I think because its so huge, I could have let it go with about 2 ½” left. Overall good smoke.



Overall impression: Very different from most montes I’ve had. Not quite my cup of tea, but it’s a solid cigar. Maybe if the draw was a little looser. I dunno.

Thank you slcraiders for the opportunity to review this baby!
