MONTECRISTO DOUBLE EDMUNDO 2013 (MRW2)

[cigaraholic]

Looking forward to a nice cigar and the F1 race this Sunday morning after a week+ of fire and smoke. Lighting storm started lots of fires in Northern California 10 days ago and unfortunately I’ve had a front row seat. Fires are pretty much under control now, just smoky, so I might as well fill my house up with smoke I like to smell.

Don’t know what the box code is, I remember buying a couple of 10 count boxes when they were released and this one comes from a desktop I put the heavyweights in. So it comes in at 16.5g, to me it feels perfectly rolled.....wish they all came like this. Perfect smooth colorado wrapper with a tight cuban draw.

Lovely Monte start, sweet cocoa and vanilla. A few more puffs and that earthy twang comes in, more puffs and the cocoa becomes milk chocolate. Next the sweetness turns into caramel and then some coffee flavor. Not a bad first 1/3? This cigar has checked all the boxes of a great Montecristo except roasted nuts. I love a well filled cigar.

Second third I get a buttery mouth coating sweetness just like when your eating a caramel, lasted until the last third. For a few puffs the cigar seemed to go back to its beginning, light delicate cocoa and vanilla. Then it came back in another gear, whatever you call a Snickers Bar without the peanuts. 

One of the best Montecristo’s I’ve smoked in a long time, burned for 2 hrs.
