Montecristo 80 Aniversario: Weekend Review

[Habana Mike]

Monte 80th prerelease from a respectable regular to Habana - unbanded.

Another heavyweight from HSA 6 1/2" x 55RG

Enrobed by a supple, taut and silky delicate golden wrapper - reminds me of one of those beach volleyballers early in the season.

Toasty tobacco and oak notes prelight, perfect resistance on the draw.

Graham cracker, cedar, cream.

Fairly strong and full bodied. Rich aromas.

Caramel, vanilla, cinnamon toast. Light earthiness.

More woodiness, hints of salt - like salted caramel.

Solid burn, very firm ash. Seco sweetness, reminiscent of a Hamlet.

A touch tannic in the final third. Spicy on the lips.

If it weren't for the girth on this one I'd say excellent all the way around. Making my jaw sore though....

One of the better ones recently released. Loved the ones I had over the course of the last couple of weeks.
