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.
This smooth Cuban cigar has always been appreciated for its sweetness. It has discrete, elegant qualities that in no way prevent it from revealing its woody, spicy character, especially in the final phase of the cigar. The smoke remains creamy and smooth throughout, so it will suit anyone in search of comfort cigars. Can do with some age to take the young tobacco edginess off.
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!
Very fine cigar, typical Cuban taste/smell/draw. Strong and serious, it is without any doubt a big Habano in a small body.
