GOS SEP 18

Monte Petit Tubos (#4)

 

Opened the box from the postman, and I waited all of 30 min before trying one of these. The review weekend was the push I needed. 

 

I have not smoked many tubos but those that I have smoked I have really enjoyed. Monte 4 has been hit or miss for me. Still aging a PSP box from our host. Let’s see if these are a hit or giveaways. Maybe both?

 

V cut reveals a very smooth draw. Wrapper on inspection has plenty of imperfections and dare I say a small crack. Uh oh

 

Lighting revealed a wonderful first third. Immediate notes of creamed coffee. Almost toffee but not quite caramel. Smoke is thick. Hard to describe but the flavors seem rounded in a good way with a woody aftertaste. 

 

Monte chocolate intensifies as the second third comes in the horizon. Those flavors intensify with a bit of mint. Like a fine chocolate bar. Then a touch of hay out of nowhere. It’s barnyard mint chocolate now I guess. But the flavors compliment each other well. 

 

I had to jump on a work call for the final third. Mint turned a bit peppery. I did not have time to focus on the cigar flavors but thoroughly enjoyable. I nubed it. 

 

I did not check Rh w my new gizmo but I’d bet 69 or so. Burn was a bit uneven.

 

Have a buddy who turns 50 this weekend. He did not Want to see folks given the pandemic. Wife was about to leave w a Vice package I made for him of a 200ml of Peerless Rye and a fiver of some of my favorite CC. Dropped one of these in the bag as well. Being 50 should be fun and tasty.  These are easy to smoke and easy to give away to good friends. 

 

A solid 92.
