My go to cigar for a shorter smoke. Mild smoke to enjoy out. Budget friendly.
Gift from a selection of 5 Monte n°4 from 2022
Cold draw on roasted coffee.
Wood, leather & earth 1/3 that will embark the aficionado until the end. Vivid toasted & sweet notes coming in the jast third for a rather nice though monotonic but experience, with flawless combustion
A nice short smoke though
7.5 / 10
This has been my go to cigar for a long time, mainly because I didn't know any better and I was not in a financial position to explore many other cigars. Its a good solid cigar all round, nothing outrageously special but nothing wrong with it either. I take these to weddings and birthdays as they are good to pass out to people who otherwise would not smoke and know its not going to hit them in the face like a brick and make them not want to finish. I do have some inconsistencies from time to time with the burn but the draw is always top notch.
A good value for money cigar that will take anywhere from 35-45mins depending on how often you puff per minute, I generally book in some time with myself for smoking and don't rush so my times might not reflect the average smokers times.
Cant fault it overall, just a good consistent cigar.
Punchy, aromatic and a guaranteed win. This is your Ruud Van Nistelrooy over Denis Bergkamp. Goals guaranteed but maybe minus some magic. 4/5 and worth a go
A smooth and mild cigar for a relaxing afternoon. Even burn, plenty of smoke, lovely construction and a great draw. Perfect cuban taste and value for money.

/Cigar Reviewer André
I have smoked at least 100 of these cigars which is thanks to Norwegian duty free at Olso airport. It is worth smoking if it is in the humidor but it is not a cigar to get excited about. Toasty, warming but not too much of a pocket rocket.
