Montecristo No 5 - OSU AGO 18 (VVRW#2)

[sho671]

I thought I had one or two PCs in my possession that I could smoke for this week's review competition but after checking CCW (https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/cigar/list?commonnames=petit-corona), I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I had a few to pick from. 

This PC was pretty densely packed and had a tight draw pre-light. I thought it might change after putting fire to it and toughed it out for the first inch or so but brought out the PerfecDraw. The draw tool helped a little bit, increasing smoke production but the cigar really opened up on it's own at about the halfway point. From there on it drew well with high smoke production. Flavor-wise I picked up some cocoa and cream. No real transitions throughout the short cigar. It paired well with coffee and all in all, a very pleasant morning smoke.

2/5

Sorry it wasn't better. On a bright note, it's always uplifting to see (images of) the 'claw'! 😉😀

I think it's catching on. There was at least one other user posting reviews with the clawwww.
