Montecristo No 4 UEB MAR 18 (MRW)

[Lucass111]

As the temperature slowly starts to warm up I can hardly wait for long nights on the patio with a smoke. For now I'll stick to a shorty in the garage. I picked the monte no 4 as I wanted something short and sweet. This was the first one out of the box. The construction was very nice. The draw was absolutely perfect. The cold draw was a bit earthy.

 

The first third I got tons of biscuit hints. I didn't get much of anything else. It was very smooth and creamy. I was very surprised by the output of smoke. The burn was excellent. I was expecting more sweetness but to my surprise there wasn't much there.

 

The second third was much more of the same. Some sweetness showed up but not much. It didn't stick around very long either. As strange as this sounds I got a few hints of twizzlers (I may be crazy). The burn got somewhat wonky but eventually evened itself out.

 

The last third got nutty. There was also notes of earthiness. It was probably just getting hot. It wasn't too bad though. Nothing that gave me that burn on the tongue. Overall it was just an ok smoke. Not very memorable. I was expecting more sweetness and chocolate. I did enjoy the biscuit notes but I wanted something more along with it. I would give it an 85 out 100. Hoping for more out of the next No 4.

Thanks for the great review and major kudos and cred for being the second in using the underutilized wonky descriptor. ? I pray it is not the norm and doesn't become a trend in the Montecristo (Wonkycristo?) review series.
