This is a cigar that was included within the gift box of cigars I received from C.A.R.T.'s Night Under the Stars with Cigars. I am sure you are quite familiar with the Montecristo cigar, if not that is okay. When I first started smoking cigars I wasn't at all familiar with the brand names adn this is basically why I write these so-called cigar reviews. Yes, you can pick up any cigar magazine that will give you a number ranging between 75 to 99 and tell you the cigar tastes like it's nutty and very flavorful, with leather and black pepper notes. What the HELL does that mean? Okay, personally I don't think I have ever eaten leather before um... I take that back. My Aunt Petunia had a way of ruining a good piece of steak by over grilling it... Anyway, this isn't about my Aunt Petunia and leather. This is about whether or not I feel anAverage Joe like me will smoke any particular cigar more than once. Okay, back to my review. I enjoyed this cigar while listening to the Cigar Dave radio show, of which I am big fan. This is the cigar I was smoking when Cigar Dave mentioned Stanford Newman had passed away. So, Mr. Stanford Newman if you can hear my thoughts, I dedicate this Cigar Review to you.
I finished off my sushi dinner, poured myself a glass of Glenfiddich Whiskey, lit up my Montecristo Churchill and turned on the General's Radio Show. I really like this cigar. Smooth, mild with a perfect draw. The wrap is flawless and smooth, hardly any viens can be seen. The taste had a sweet, woodsy taste to it. I highly recommend this cigar and will definitely smoke it again.
'nuff said.
