Product Introduction

The Montecristo Linea 1935 Leyenda (20) is a hand - made Cuban cigar. It has a medium - full strength and a Maravillas No.2 shape. The larger format has the same dimension as the Montecristo 80th Aniversario. It comes in a box of 20 cigars, and there may be shade differences between boxes.

Tasting

• First Third: The pre - draw is perfect. When lit, it has a good burn and offers sweet woody notes. Intensity builds quickly, with a full - strength presence, medium smoke density, and low acidity. Cocoa and roasted coffee add a sweet profile.
• Second Third: The strength softens a bit. Smoke density is very high, and flavors are well - balanced. The ash is long, strong, and grey, and combustion is even. The aroma is great.
• Third Third: It's similar to the second part. Towards the end, it becomes slightly shorter, a bit dry, and loses some grassiness and rich flavors.

The Montecristo Linea 1935 Leyenda has a massive potential for development and ageing. The only drawback is the new look of the box not being to personal taste. It costs between $30 - $35.
