Taste
Right from the outset, this cigar immediately do wonders in my mouth. It exudes a buttery aroma accompanied by delectable flavors of nutmeg and warm notes of honey. Afterwards, a delightfully woody fragrance with a hint of zesty citrus pleased my palate, reminding me of my favorite cinnamon dessert. It was subtle at first, but when you take the first draw, you will taste a touch of bitterness with a quite strong flavor of cedar in a way that’s not overwhelming. At this phase, the burn showed consistency, and its mellow smoke remains sophisticated so far.
As expected from a typical Connecticut shade blend, flavors from the second third has some mild earthiness. As you proceed to whiff, the quality advances into a wonderful medium to full body cigar, keeping up its smoothness along the way. The draw got way better compared earlier though it was somewhat tight. The sleek wrapper is letting the cigar burn in a superbly even line, a blade-sharp burn enchanting every cigar smoker. The pungency of flavors also became evident bearing a fragrant jasmine scent.
As I came to the last third, right amount of peppery notes made its way to my tongue. From beginning to end, the flavors of this cigar really blended well.
Friendly tip: ensure a great time with the Montecristo Yellow No. 2 Torpedo; otherwise, you will be astonished that it’s over, but you want more.
