Tasting

• Two thirds: It gets stronger with a longer finish. Peppery notes add complexity. The smoke density becomes high as the draw improves. There's a warm feeling on the palate with richer flavors.
• Three thirds: It starts very woody. Earthiness and grassiness increase. A touch of cardamon appears. It finishes with black tea notes.

The Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltes is hand - made and priced between $20 - $25. The brand strength is full.
