Swung by the local B&M today and picked up a single Monte 520 then went home and went on a nice run. I figured I should reward myself for running so I took this guy to flame. Some thoughts: * This is a big cigar. At a 55rg it is a bit too big for my liking * Can't deny that the cigar is visually awesome! A smooth dark brown wrapper that just begs to be smoked * I knew this cigar was probably a bit over humidified for my tastes, but I lit it anyway * First third, OMG what a great cigar. Cream and chocolate flavors everywhere. If it keeps up this will be a classic right now * Second third, yep it is too wet and has lost a lot of flavors and is getting harsh * Have to relight numerous times * Final third, still harsh and still requires relighting. I blame the humidity Overall thoughts: * First third was fantastic and if the rest of it improves with lower humidity than this cigar will be a winner * The RG is just too big and is uncomfortable * I will definitely pick up more and let them rest a bit
