Someone asked about original release - well i've got half a box of 10 left and i can happily agree with KG and shrink - a hint of montecristo flavour here and there but on the whole strongleather/tannic but not particularly enjoyable. Nice to look at but that's it. I have little hope that the rest will age gracefully!

think faye dunnaway.

I have found the PE's quite inconsistent lately... As someone said earlier, a few of them suffer from very loose draw.

Give them some time in your humidor, they tend to get much better with a year or so on their back!

really interested in this review. have notes for one i'm intending (good intentions) to post. also thye full (edmundo) monty, as it were.

also staggered by the responses. to pre-empt myself, it started superbly with classic monte characters but for most it was simply awful. the full (edmundo) monty was another kettle of fish - absolutely superb. will get the reviews up asap.

Ken, I know you don't care for shorties, but this cigar will blow you away!

Been smoking thru a box from MBA JUL 10 and they have really been excellent !! Not been a fan of Montecristo's lately but these PE's have brought me back on board !!

I have also been smoking PE's from a box of april 10, and I must say i've had 2 of the 10, the first one week after receiving it and my second a few weeks back, and I must say, both were very enjoyable, getting about 50 to 55 mins smoke time. the remaining 8 will be resting for a couple more months before I revisit them, But I must say i'm really enjoying the petit robusto format. I cant wait for the partagas serie D 5 to come out for reg production, i'll defenitly be purchasing a box of those.

Haven't smoked one of these since posting the original review. I found them too inconsistent.

Had one on Saturday night though. It was a really enjoyable cigar! I think my original review summed it up well. Having smoked a lot in the last couple of years, I took this PE's strength pretty well. Smoking time was under 1 hour.

The burn was razor-sharp the whole way, which was curious. The draw was also perfect, with enough resistence:air

91/100

Smoking s beautiful looking example of a PE now. Gorgeous oily wrapper but slightly too open draw. Agree with Bart's description, dry wood, coffee etc. Has hinted at being a good smoke here and there, but really isn't. Haven't had much luck with the Edmundos or their little brothers.

Always have these in my rotation.. don't hear much about them. If you are lucky enough to find a box that is on ...awesome cigar..anything from 08 and 10 are great.

My first box from 08 is ridiculously good. They were so good I bought 4 boxes. The 09 disappointed, ammonia flavored tobacco.
