Montecristo Number 5 UEB SEP 17 (MCRW)

[MountainMilG]

Ahhhh, Monte's.  Cocoa goodness.  The marca I have the most of, almost all PSP from here (2, 4, 5, MC, and a few odds and ends).  I do love some Montecristo.  I bought this box back in April of this year.

Great construction, good cedar and tobacco smell pre-light.  V cut, good toasting, first puffs are the main theme throughout - cocoa and coffee.  I don't get the cream in these that I do in the 2 or 4, to me the 5 is more coffee and richer (although the boxes of PSP 4's I have are divine cocoa cream monsters, they're ... different).  Didn't time this one, but sat on the porch, enjoyed my morning and puffed away.  The size and profile make these along with 4's and Party Shorts my favorite smokes.  For me this is a 90 cigar, great and hopefully only getting better over the next few years.

Like cocoa?  Buy monte's, and if you like 4's try a 5.
