Montecristo Maravillas No. 1 2005 - XNYRC

[Habana Mike]

For my first smoke of the new year/decade I pulled out a Montecristo I've not had the pleasure to smoke before now.

  

The cigar is beautiful. Firm yet not over-filled. Silky wrapper with no blemishes.

I fire it up around 2PM today with ice water to accompany.

Draw is firm but not tight. Ash holds for inches.

Perfect burn all the way down, good smoke production.

Roasted nuts, milk chocolate, cream.

A lovely 2.5 hour cigar. 95/100

Jeepers that’s a big smoke. Nice setting for it.

Had it for years, it's a workhorse. I'd definitely get another if I lost this one!

Time to start smoking more of those “special occasion” cigars. Not getting any younger!
 

Cheers my friend!
