Appearance
The cigar has a colorado wrapper that is very oily and moderately veiny. It feels heavy and imposing. Appearance rating: 5/5.
Construction
It is very tightly packed, which can lead to a tight draw. The burn was regular but not totally straight. Construction rating: 4/5.
Flavor
- First third: The pre - draw is spicy. After lighting, it provides vegetal and cedarwood flavors with a good amount of nicotine. It is moderately strong at the beginning.
- Second third: The spice tries to take over but fails and almost disappears. The smoke becomes round.
- Last third: It has powerful woody and vegetal flavors. The strength is similar to Partagas Serie D No. 4. Flavor rating: 4.5/5.
Value
All good Cuban piramides are in a similar price range, making it hard to find a bargain. Value rating: 4/5.
It is often compared to Monte No. 2 and H. Upmann No. 2. Montecristo has more complex flavors but unstable construction. In comparison, the Partagas Serie P No. 2 holds its own.
