Montecristo

1935 Anniversary Nicaraguan

Nice medium. Could be more intense for my liking but the blend is there

Enjoying again a little over a year since my last one. Cinnamon, coffee, and spice are again the flavor points. An absolutely perfect draw with no issues whatsoever, allowing the burn to be decently clean. Great flavors in general.

I concur with what Eusibio posted on December 21, 2024. Well said.

By Killington fire outside Pickering’s house with headytopper and whiskey.

Beautiful dark, toothy wrapper. Well packed, firm cigar. Good draw, slightly open, plenty of smoke. Bold, flavorful cigar, pepper, oak and cedar out of the gate. After the first third coffee and leather show up. Cigar is strong, quite a punch. Lovely cigar, box worthy. The best Montecristo I’ve ever had.

Smooth and spicey

Cinnamon, coffee, and spice come through throughout the entire cigar. An absolutely perfect burn and draw with no issues whatsoever. Great flavors.

Excellent. Smooth with a sweet but spicy flavor.

Great smoke, peppery and sweet at the same time. Medium strength yet bold flavor profile. No wonder it ranked #2 in 2021

Phenomenal cigar, it's obvious why it was rated #2 in 2021

Breakfast of champions.

Two weeks out of pocket, this was a great back home sit and smoke. Straight forward. No changes from previous opinion as to quality or rating.

Very easy afternoon smoke. Medium bodied, Demi is a nice size when that urge for a quick hit strikes. Paired with a Bialetti Brikka/Lavazza classico. Coffee and cinnamon flavor up front, hit of cedar in the middle as it transitions. Back to coffee and some cocoa, more full bodied on the back end, fuller smoke. Burns a little fast, uneven at the start. Quality smoke, though.

Too strong for me. Great burn.

A good amount of age to the filling, and a great note of dark chocolate, almost raw cacao, with some dark, roasted nuts rounding out a powerful tasting finish, but not powerful feeling. Lovely flavor that's not for a beginner, but too expensive to buy again.

Strong taste best paired with food or whiskey. Not really worth smoking alone at the $15 price tag.
