Monte No. 4 (First Montecristo)

[Magnum Dongle]

My first review post on here, so any feedback is welcome. This is my first Montecristo ever, and it did not let down. The thing that I think stuck out most to me was how smooth the draw was compared to other cuban cigars I have tried (could be they are young or just a tight cigar). I am on vacation so I can't look up the box date right now but I know this stick isn't that old (under a year since I've gotten it and wasn't advertised as aged).

Anyways, the draw was great, and I got notes of cedar, earthiness, coffee and a slight hint of vanilla along with what I think is that Cuban twang. I loved the entire smoke, and actually ordered some Monte No. 3s to try some more! Have a great week B/SOTL!

Good review. I have read a bunch but am always a little intimidated to write one.

I have seen a lot of reviews where they like to describe the cigar in thirds- 1st third, 2nd, 3rd. I personally have a hard time getting to thirds. For me I can usually tell a difference between first half and second half. But that’s as far as I can go.

Montes are where it’s at for my money. Keep up with the reviews.

I've seen the same and maybe with time I can tell more distinct notes during different thirds. But for now I just wanna contribute and post what I taste! Excited for the box I have coming now!

The Monte 4 is a classic. Love all the Montes with the Open series as my favorite.
