Review Notes: First off, the draw on these are so tight you can't get much smoke without a headache. This one took about 1/3 of the cigar plus a hole punched through with a pick before I could get any smoke. After that, there was a rich, leathery, tobacco flavor with some sweetness and pepper. It also had coffee and cocoa notes that were nice. For the money, I expect a cigar that doesn't need worked over to smoke though.

Review Notes: I wish I could say more about this vitola, but unfortunately with the three I attempted to smoke, I just couldn't get a draw without getting a headache! These are waaay too tight. My first one I tried to use a draw tool with no avail, second one I re-cut and used a draw tool, third one I actually cut IN HALF to see if I could get a better smoke out of just half of the cigar. No good each time.

Review Notes: The Media Noche line has always been good to me. The flavor is consistant all the way across. The problem with them, especially the #3 is that its tight as a drum. I even skewered the cigar and STILL couldn't get a decent draw out of it... I tried to smoke one last night and had to dispose of 3 of them that were unsalvagable.

Review Notes: This cigar was good, but I expected more from the way it looked and the fact that it was a Montecristo. The taste was enjoyable, but two months in the humidor was not enough. This cigar was more spicy that sweet. I like my Maduros sweet. The No. 3 is a good looking cigar, especially the band. Its a little veiny also the draw was a little too tight. This was my first Media Noche, but if it's a fair representation, then I prefer the 5 Vegas Series A which is also a lot easier on the wallet.

Review Notes: I was impressed by this cigar. After winning 2 singles on CigarBid, I smoked the first one after a week in the humi. The appearance, including the band, just screams "super premium". The draw was a little tight, but not bad, and I had no burn issues, which is saying a lot as I can't seem to smoke any cigar without getting a lopsided burn. I still got a mouthful on every puff and it kicked out clouds of sweet, spicy smoke to enjoy between puffs. Definite but subtle flavors of coffee, chocolate, and leather. I usually prefer 6-8" 'gars, with a thicker ring gauge, but this thing smoked like a 6x50 or larger. It took at least 1.5 hrs to finish and I enjoyed it down to the nub. I usually stop as soon as they get harsh, but this little Media Noche just got richer, spicier, and better as it got to the end. I've had so many good cigars in the last few months, it's hard to pick a top 10, but this stick definitely slides into that category for me.
