Review Notes: When the Edmundo came out a few years ago most initial reviews of the cigar were not impressive and so I passed on the cigar. I bought these cigars after smoking the Petit Edmundo. My initial reaction was not good. The cigars started off bland and then turned into something like a Petit Edmundo but not as good. However, as I purchased more boxes and allowed them to age (or possibly because quality improved) they improved. They look fine and smell great. The construction, burn, and aroma are nearly perfect. The cigars are also generally consitent and reliable. Otherwise the cigar has the classic Montecristo flavor. It's not as strong as a Montecristo #2 but more mild and fresh. It tastes of vanilla, cream, nuts, cedar and tea leaves. Midway through the flavor is similar to a Petit Edmundo but slightly more mild. Towards the end the cream and cedar flavor intensifies and there's a strong taste of leather. I would recommend the Petit Edmundo initially and if you agree with me and think they're great try the Edmundo.
