Beautiful mellow grassy flavor, enriched by leather tones. The cigar comes with a second ring with the Golden letter Open and the vitola name. The official size is called Forum.
Deep, rich, generous and with a strength greater than it might seem at first. One of the ten best Habanos of the size range.
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!
Wrapped in a beautiful colorado leaf, the Double Edmundo starts out with warm earthy aromas of hay mixed with cedar. These cigars are tripa larga, totalmente a mano – long filler, totally handmade using an exclusive blend of tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba.
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.
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.
