Montecristo Maltes - ASR JUN 19 (MRW2)

[Ash Bridges]

Gorgeous aroma, chocolate fruit on cold draw. Draw is perfect.

first third: Monte chocolate all over. peanuttiness growing, very creamy. maybe some nougat. Viscous. This is freaking delicious. A little sweet on the palate and savory on the lips. first third closes dripping with chocolate.

second third: chocolate is still there but fades into sweetened condensed milk. Second third is all like a sweet mocha latte. rich, creamy, full, beautiful.

third third: still very creamy and full. spicy chocolate notes all over the place. turning savory, almost like a steak, in the final 2 inches. the ash looks like one of those joke cigars that explodes out the end, but man is it delicious.

Smooth and creamy right to the last. 8 million points.

It's such a great stick. Last time I was in Havana I stumbled upon 3 boxes of them at the LCDH at the Hotel National selling for $276 a pop. I was a little green and didn't recognize them so I figured I'd grab a box and try them. Rookie mistake; should have gotten all three.
