A mild bitter cocoa and spice taste, great aroma. Nice, even burn, consistently good quality. A Havana that will never let you down.
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.
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.
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.
The Montecristo No. 5 contains a mild to strong tobacco that’s flavoured with spices, vanilla, cocoa and chocolate. It burns beautifully, starting with a spicy tang that subdues in the first half and makes way for quick bursts of sweetness. Although it’s the smallest cigar in the Montecristo range, it certainly makes up for it in flavour and provides the optimum thickness for a short stick smoke.
