Montecristo no.4 OLM ABR 15 (SMRW)

[Siberian Bear]

Montecristo is one of my favorite marcas, and I've smoked my share of Edmundos, PE and of course the no.2. As I started to explore smaller, slimmer vitolas this box was I think the first no.4 I ever had, purchased from FoH of course. Don't recall the grade but I love this wrapper shade, golden with some lovely sheen, pics are completely off!

First 3rd - light smoke, very light, could be a morning stick easily. Not a whole bunch of flavors, straight mild tobacco.

Second 3rd - now we're talking! Mild tobacco flavor changes into MILK chocolate, no dark notes whatsoever, but I prefer milk chocolate over dark one any day.

Last 3rd - gaining strength for sure, it's now solid medium, without going over. Still chocolate notes and I guess I tasted some tea in there, I know it's weird but enjoyable nonetheless.

Overall - solid smoke, though starts slow, need to be patient with it and it'll reward you later on. Not sure if smoking in a rainy weather affected it in any way, it was kept at 64% before that.

Score: 89
