Montecristo #1 ESL JUL18 (MCRW)

[Diabolicalpherpher]

 

This was from a clearance offer from our host.  I chose the ugliest and most beat up stick from the box.  I had a few sticks from this box already and they smoke and taste pretty well except for one when it had a tight draw and it forced me to pull too hard and made the taste a bit bitter.

 

After a v cut, the draw was good and it had a slight barnyard taste.

 

First third was cocoa and bitter chocolate. 

 

Second third was coffee with milk.

Last third, I tasted a brief sweetness which made the smoke taste like milk chocolate but that was only a few draws and then it went back to coffee/ bitter chocolate/cocoa.

The flavors missed the mark of the others I’ve had but at least it smoked well.  It won’t stop me from smoking more out of this box tho.

Sounds a bit of a disappointment.   I’ll say every one i’ve ever had has been remarkable.   Still waiting for the inevitable “meh...”.   

And you win for ugliest smoke this weekend!!
