Montecristo No. 4 - ??? MAY 19 (MRW2)

[dshot]

First half: nut, dark chocolate, leather,  tastes so similar to a RG perlas. Even burn. Ash fell off in a nice half inch chunk. Medium body medium strength. When I first got these the strength was full but they mellowed out a bit.  Pairing with a coke. Burn line has a nice thin mascara line. Towards the last half more dark chocolate powder flavor. I've slowed down my smoking as if I smoke them too fast as a petite corona the smoke gets too hot. 

 

2nd Half: Full flavor of dark chocolate. I cant detect anything else. Burn line nice construction good. It tastes like a mellow no. 2 to me, which is fine.  A little sweeter than the first half. Towards the end of the flavors go full nut and leather. Chocolate flavor died off. Construction is still good nice burn line. Not the most complex cigar but with those three flavors it's satisfying.

 

 

 

Summary: I'm gonna score this cigar 92 points. Smoke time just under 50mins. It's a nice break cigar but it's no Double Corona or Churchill. I'm happy to have some but I'm yearning for a larger cigar with a longer burn time and more complexity. The dark chocolate nut flavor plays well not as flavorful as a good no. 2 but for this marca it works.  It's a pretty straightforward smoke that if I'm in the mood works the best after lunch not a night ending smoke for me. For me personally I'd reach for a RGPC as they are so similar but for the price the stronger burnt toast/coffee flavor just hits the spot for me.
