Review Notes: Rolled tightly packed like a rock. If it wasn't a Cuban Monte, I would have reached for the "Draw-Poker," but the draw was excellent. Smooth and oily, dark brown, slightly reddish wrapper, with some thin veins. Medium body and buttery smooth, not a trace of being harsh. Slightly uneven burn, not enough to cause any problems though. Wood and bakery type spices abound. Hardly any tobacco flavor, it was almost like smoking a pastry. (LOL) Stayed very consistent in flavor through the entire smoke. Also, seemed to get milder and smoother the further I smoked it down. An extra value point for the fact that it is smokeable down to a nub. A fine cigar in it's own right, but I prefer and believe the MC #2 is a bit better. But by all means, if you have the opportunity, give one of these a try.
