• Length: 110 mm (4 1/3 inches)
• Ring: 52
• Score: 5/5

Origin and Format

The Montecristo Petit Edmundo is from Cuba and has a Short Robusto format. It weighs 11 g, is hand - made, and costs about $11 each.

Appearance

The wrapper is quite oily. It has a few discolorations, which add to its charm.

Construction

The construction is of high quality, with a slow, self - correcting burn and an impeccable draw. The pre - draw has spicy, sweet, and sour notes.

Flavor

• One third: There is a wave of spice at the beginning, followed by subtle notes of dark bitter chocolate and loads of dry cedar flavors.
• Two thirds: After about 25 minutes, all flavors mix into a bitter - sweet, salty taste.
• Three thirds: The complexity fades, and the finish is dominated by woody creaminess with a hint of black pepper.

Value

It offers great value. It's recommended to smoke it after a heavy meal and slowly to avoid harshness.

Storing it in the humidor for a few months can improve it. And for those with patience, keeping it for a few years could bring unknown wonders.
