When Montecristo Petit Edmundo meets Cohiba Maduro 5

[El Presidente]

It is hard enough to find wrappers like this on Cohiba Genios or Magicos. I certainly haven't seen them on Monte Petit Edmundos. it was only one mastercase. 

There is plenty of cocoa in a MPE as it is. It should be turbocharged in these.

Near-Oscuro shaded wrappers, medium-full bodied and most probably bitter cocoa flavours when youthful, I wonder if 10 years would even 'knock the edge' of these?

You can tell all that by a picture or you have a box?

I have a box like these, a 10ct box and im glad its only a 10 box. Quite awful flavour, very bitter and nothing like a PE which has a quality lighter wrapper.

Interesting. I have kept a box for myself. 

They are thin wrappers. If they don't make great genios or magicos bitter, they shouldn't make MPE bitter.  Rough sandpaper oscuro wrapper is a different thing again. Pure crap. 

Post up a photo of your box for comparison

Nah, best educated guess from having similar (singles that looked like that, but perhaps not as dark). I have a box from 2014. No way have I even touched it and not intending to for some time.

Then again, I have a strong bias towards Montecristo Petit Edmundo that is aged and not youthful and that is just my personal preference.

I should probably add, Im not a big fan of the Cohiba Maduro line so it could be my palate just doesnt suit these.

This is my box

Holy crap. I will kill for a box of these

[Danimalia]

I had a 10 count of very dark MPE, though probably not this dark. I thought they were wonderful, and I smoked through them with a bit under 2 years of age on them. Lots of cocoa and cream. I don't recall any bitterness in mine. I'd not hesitate to pull the trigger on a box like that

Interesting. Monte PE comes in all colors

That is my preferred colour for Monte PE. Not a fan of the darker oilier ones. Lighter shade and velvet/butter wrapper is the way to go imo. Same with Partagas Presidentes, Upmann Mag 46 and Epi 2 to name a few.

Yes, same here!

I would like to try both next to eachother and every year after to see how they evolve
