  1. Bought this box about a year ago, I have smoked about 4 now and every single one has been stellar. Wrapper is very smooth, oily, dark and very thin, just how I like Monte's. Construction is perfect, this particular stick is gorgeous can't wait to light up. Punch the cap, draw is a little restrictive,so perfect for me. Cold draw reveals a very rich toasted tobacco taste. After lighting, initial impressions are very deep coffee and cream flavours with a heavy dusting of cocoa. All I can think of is that the flavors are very loud, in a good way, like listening to Beethoven on a good sound system. This cigar is coming out the gates fast, hope it lasts. 1st third The start has been very very good, the coffee with loads of cream and cocoa are very intense yet very smooth. My other box of PE is sweeter yet less intense, the cocoa is darker and drier than the other box. Ash is light grey, tight and holding on strong, burn line is razor sharp. Rethrohale gives some cappucino notes with a bit of sweetness and spice, very smooth aromatic smoke. 2nd third Coffee has turned to espresso and the cream is still there, yet fading a bit. Cocoa is getting a little darker and turning to chocolate as the dusty aspect of the smoke has turned into an earthy character. This cigar screams Montecristo, if I could not blindly pick this one out, I would have to seriously reconsider what I think of taste. Very oily thick dense smoke. Retro hale is giving off strong cocoa and spice, do I taste a hint of nutmeg... Yes. Ash is still holding strong and tight, square. This cigar is INTENSE, yet not strong. Last third Ash finally falls of just above the band, impressive as I was not being careful, decide to clip the head as the punch is restricting flow a tad. Cigar opens up and comes back to life. The flavors have darkened, the strength is picking up, cream has taken a back seat. The core is a perfect thick espresso with heavy crema, dark cassonade and spices, every draw reveals different spice some sweet some woody, maybe cedar. Burn line is still straight. Still very intense flavors. Final remarks This cigar can be summed up to one word, phenomenal, such class, smooth yet very intense flavors, all encompassing, the cigar had all my attention. This is in the top five this year for sure, I see these developing well with age as the last third showed something great. Excellent construction, burn and very high quality tobacco. Better than many other nice boxes of PE smoke in the past. Easy 94
