Montecristo no.4 BUM JUL 14 Ode to the 40 and 42 gauge review week

[David88]

So after being stupid enough to run a half marathon yesterday, I needed a walk to try and shift the soreness from my legs. What better company than a Monte 4! 

The first half opened with cocoa and creamy coffee notes. Very smooth mouthfeel. The burn was a bit of a mess but there was a bit of wind and it didn't need touching up or relighting so I didn't mind too much. 

The second half really stepped up a gear. The cocoa and coffee were still there but a more powerful pepper and wood flavour came to the fore. Pepper isn't a flavour I usually find with montecristo but in this box of monte 4s it has been quite evident. 

Overall a great cigar. Started just under medium body and finished just over.
