Quick Smoke: Montcristo Reserva Negra Robusto
13 Dec 2009
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
This relatively new addition to the Montecristo line features a matte, vein-free Mexican wrapper and notes of cinnamon, dry cocoa, and grass. It’s tasty, medium-bodied, and balanced with a hint of woody spice. Construction on this square-pressed Robusto is excellent, too, with and even burn and sturdy ash.
Verdict = Buy.

I had a chance to try a few Reserva Negras a few weeks ago – that was a decent smoke. I agree on your verdict.
This is pretty surprising. A good Altadis product?
so does anyone know what the settlement was with pete-is he dropping the fleur de lis(sp)? I’m statying away from monte and altadis for a while. God Bless America
