Monte 4, my steadfast companion. What’s yours?

REs and LEs and Añejados and Gran Reservas and all the rest may come and go. But my great friend the Monte 4 never lets me down. It knows what it wants to be and is always there when I need it. Like a great pair of jeans or boots or an old friend. It’s my go to. I love my robustos (RASS, BRC, etc.). But Monte 4 gets out of the way and (for me) just performs

My go-to small format stick, especially when I need a quick Cuban fix after a disappointing smoke, is HdM Petit Robusto. The brown sugar and spice never seems to fail me.
