This is a handsome cigar, rich in dark color but pleasing and not harsh. A new cigar for Montecristo and the first in a new line up and it is a winner! I chose the 6×54 which runs about $12 through the mail. It burns evenly and smoothly all the way to the end and easily lasts a good hour or more. I don’t claim to have a developed “taste” but even I could enjoy the taste of coffee and leather in this all Nicaragua tobacco treat. This is a cigar I would save for a nice evening along with a bit of liquid refreshment (for something different, try a Calvados that is at least 12 years old) while reading a book. At the end you will feel you have accomplished something.
