I pulled the first stick out of a new Jan 07 box of Montecristo No.4's I know that they are way to new to dive in but I wanted to check them out just to see what I have to look forward to later after they have had time to sleep for a LONG while.
Well I was impressed for it being only a few months old, early on there were hints of sweetness, as the burn stayed pretty much razor sharp. 1/3 of the way through I started to get some of that familar spice, but it varied often. Held the ash till well after the 1/2 way point, and had some outstanding expresso flavor through much of the stick. A nice draw and lots of smoke, I think all this cigar needs is alot more age to be a great cigar rather than just a good one.
So what are you guys smoking tonight?
