Monte Wide Edmundo 2023-ish (FebW3)

So, I got a few singles of these. I haven't had a cigar going on 2 weeks due to the crud making the rounds. Basically my selfie should win me at least a few high fives.

Yes that is a Cactus Jack shirt. 

On to the stogie. I love the WE so far. I've smoked about 6 or 7 of these.

Draw is a bit tight. I bet this one was a little too wet as I just got it recently. The cold draw is zesty. Some barnyard aroma and a sweetness there.

1st third. I'm not getting a draw really. Burn is good. I took a perfecdraw to the end and did a light poke which did the trick! Getting a bit of cocoa,barnyard and earth. Under medium with lots of smoke output 

2nd third picks up a bit of steam. On the retro I get a hint of citrus note,orange peel? Yes, that's it .

There is a lot going on here, coffee, leather, a bit of salt. That citrus lilts in and out. The cigar needs some touch ups, so I'm sure it's a bit wet. Humidity is high due to these California storms were having here. Enjoyable nonetheless. 

The final third is a bit muddled but still that salty note,along with coffee. Some interesting spice in this final third. I did relight it. I will let these other 3 I have rest for a long nap.

So not the best of these I've had but still its a banger. 91. I think if I give them 6 months they will rate much higher. 

*Disclaimer. My niece was painting her nails at a little gig my nephew played last Friday so I painted my thumbnail.  Anything for a little entertainment for the kids.

One of my top three cigars of 2023, my brother.

Not fond of the size but, did it ever deliver. Solid cigar.

It's so good already and I think the ceiling is high on these! I had one last year that was easy 95 to 96.

I agree completely. Stellar.
