Montecristo Especial MTS NOV 19 MRW

[Benson]

This is my first smoke from this box, I’ve been looking forward to giving these a shot once they had rested a bit.

First few puffs are a bit dry, with just a mild wood flavor. Draw is a bit tighter than I usually like but it feels appropriate for this cigar and makes me like it more. Smoke production is minimal, with heavy twang and a very light cocoa coming through.

I’m pretty inexperienced with long and skinny’s but all the aesthetics just feel elegant, the handfeel, the small, slightly restrained puffs that make you take your time, just lovely.

Flavor profile remains pretty constant for the first half of the cigar, with a little deeper leather/cocoa starting to come in along with that light woody twang.

Finishes very well, just a gradual building of flavors until reaching med-full.
