Montecristo No 5 - ESL Sep 18 (VVRW#2)

[RichG]

A glorious NY day, 67 deg F, sunny, low wind.

This cigar began strong with notes of dark coffee, spice and the slightest hint of burnt sugar, with a very spicy retrohale.

Going into the second third it opened into a prevalent, and very enjoyable sweetness, less cocoa/chocolate, and more brown sugar/molasses. 

It stayed steady, with notes of coffee, sugar, wood and cream, right until the very end. Upon nubbing it with the draw tool, the sweetness faded in favor of coffee and wood. 

This smoke was stored at 65/65 and dry boxed around 67/55 for the last few days. Burn and draw were perfect. This is perfection in a small smoke for me.
