Swung by the local B&M today and picked up a single Monte 520 then went home and went on a nice run. I figured I should reward myself for running so I took this guy to flame. Some thoughts:
* This is a big cigar. At a 55rg it is a bit too big for my liking
* Can't deny that the cigar is visually awesome! A smooth dark brown wrapper that just begs to be smoked
* I knew this cigar was probably a bit over humidified for my tastes, but I lit it anyway
* First third, OMG what a great cigar. Cream and chocolate flavors everywhere. If it keeps up this will be a classic right now
* Second third, yep it is too wet and has lost a lot of flavors and is getting harsh
* Have to relight numerous times
* Final third, still harsh and still requires relighting. I blame the humidity
Overall thoughts:
* First third was fantastic and if the rest of it improves with lower humidity than this cigar will be a winner
* The RG is just too big and is uncomfortable
* I will definitely pick up more and let them rest a bit
