Montecristo #2 UBM JUL 17 12DCRC

This is my 2nd review from the Christmas Sampler. Decided to go with a M2 from a box purchased off our host a few years ago. I'm pairing it with a Bulleit Rye, friendly conversation and frigid winter temps (30F, low RH). 

Draw is perfect. Prelight flavors were a bit of spice and cedar.

1/3: Cedar, touch of earth and a little bit of spice through the nose to start things off. Coffee comes in towards the end of the first third.

2/3: Cedar, coffee and cream were the majors flavors in the second third. Body still at a solid medium. Touch of spice through the nose, which I'm really enjoying along side the other flavors. This is a great example of a M2 in my eyes.

3/3:More of the same to finish off the final third. As it gets to the band a nice floral note joins. This is accompanied by a touch of bitter coco. Towards the nub it starts to really heat up to medium full, spice is up as well. My hand are absolutely frozen solid so I struggle to actually grip this guy towards the end.

Overall a very enjoyable smoke in less than ideal weather.

I actually just picked up some fingerless gloves today because of last night. Very much needed going forward this winter
