MONTE EDMUNDO POU MAY13 (MCRW)

[cigaraholic]

Normally I’d say this is a very good looking cigar, colorado maduro wrapper with some sheen, but the only great regular production Monte’s I’ve smoked this century have had much lighter wrappers. This cigar feels light in my hand, under filled at 13.1 gr. Not surprisingly the cold draw is a wind tunnel. This is the second cigar I’ve smoked from this box, don’t remember the first one, so it couldn’t have been that good or that bad.

First puffs I get a chocolate flavor in the front of my mouth but just a dry woody flavor and finish. It takes about 15 minutes for the chocolate flavor to move into mid-palate, but the chocolate is baking chocolate, there’s no sweetness at all.....must be one of those low calorie cigars ?

Went from medium to medium full over the 75 minutes of smoking time, but never changed its woody bitter chocolate profile. I needed a chocolate mousse dessert with this cigar to add some sweetness.

A classic under filled cigar
