Quick Smoke: Montecristo Classic Robusto
18 Jan 2009
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
This caramel-brown Connecticut shade Robusto (5 x 52) was even better yesterday than when we reviewed it almost one year ago. Eleven months of humidor time seems to have improved the burn and married the creamy tastes of marshmallow, chocolate, spice, and graham into one balanced flavor. If you haven’t tried this 2007 release yet, pick up a few and employ your self-control to let them settle—the wait will be worth it.
Verdict = Buy.

Marshmallow, chocolate and graham crackers. Are you sure you didn't have S'mores before you smoked this stick, Pat?
