A great classic. If you have already tasted it, you do not need my tasting notes to confirm that you have tasted one of the greatest Havanas of all-time.
Deep, rich, generous and with a strength greater than it might seem at first. One of the ten best Habanos of the size range.
Very fine cigar, typical Cuban taste/smell/draw. Strong and serious, it is without any doubt a big Habano in a small body.
The sublteness of this Cuban cigar derives from its precise construction, something that is technically hard to do with the Tres petit Corona, overheating is a problem that can be prominent in smaller cigars yet the No.5 has no such problems. So, no problems with this No.5 from Montecristo!
This big cigar looks more powerful than it is. Surprisingly mild, the Montecristo Edmundo, one of the newer vitoles of the Montecristo family, has all the recognizable traits of the brand, but delivered in a gentle warm smoke, especially in the first phase of the cigar.
