This affordable 9-cigar sampler brings three legendary brands together: Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta and H.Upmann in Toro size (6"x50). Perfect for explorers craving variety without breaking the bank, these Dominican-rolled sticks offer medium-bodied smokes ranging from earthy Montecristo's spice to RyJ's creamier profile.
Initial draws reveal cedar wood and roasted almonds with faint creaminess. Combustion stays even with tight white ash formation, though some batches might show slight ammonia sharpness needing acclimation.
Core flavors emerge as dark chocolate and espresso beans dominate, underpinned by mineral notes from Nicaraguan fillers. Smoke output remains steady - enough for satisfying rings but not overwhelming.
Leather and black pepper intensify without harshness, balanced by caramelized sweetness. Moderate nicotine buildup suggests slower pacing for newer smokers.
