Monte Cristo White Churchill Review

[beauregard]

[SIZE=3]Monte Cristo White Churchill 7’ 54[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Still thinking about the Bolivar Peitit Coronas… the only thing I have to compare to that is a Montecristo white I have been saving. I can wait no more.. I pull the Montecristo out of the humi and prepare for the experience I know awaits me… this is destiny.[/SIZE]




[SIZE=3]Anticipating the flavors of cashews and butter, the aroma of roasted nuts the creamy texture I pour myself a shot of Carolans Irish cream.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Prelight: I want to get some photos to remember this. The nose is awesome… I have to light it before I eat it![/SIZE]





[SIZE=3]Draw is tight. I might have left it too humidified. I’m worried. Not much flavor... I hope I don’t have another dud (I have had ones out of the same box that didn’t match up).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]OK, wait it’s getting better. Draw is easing up and the flavors are emerging. The smoke coming off has a distinctive roasted peanut aroma, but the flavor is more buttery like almonds or cashews. [/SIZE]




[SIZE=3]Looooooooooong grey ash; 3 inches before it finally drops to the deck. It’s putting out some smoke now. The draw is effortless.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Pepper appears, I’ve never noticed much pepper in these but I’m detecting it now. Not so overpowering that I loose the sweet, buttery, nutty flavors that I smoke these for, but more than I was expecting.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Oh yeah… this is turning out the way I expected it… my hopes were not too high. The full monte delivers. I’m smoking this until I can’t hold it between my fingers any more. Am I detecting an aftertaste of vanilla or cream. Maybe both… or it could be my imagination. Either way, I’m going to have dreams about this cigar until I test it again to see if I really can detect vanilla.[/SIZE]





Montecristo is still the cigar I’ve known… all is right with the world. As Michael Scott would say: "aint no party like a Scranton party cause a Scranton party don’t stop" (OK, that had nothing to do with this... I just wanted to work it in even if it was a stretch).

Nice review, used to be a go-to cigar for me, but haven't had one in awhile. May pick one up

Had a couple of these awhile ago. I really enjoyed them. Thanks for the review.

I like these...smoooooth. Also seem to pack pretty decent nicotine punch.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Monte Cristo White's will spoil you indeed - the only thing bad about smoking a White is that whatever you smoke after will usually be a letdown - not all but most.

Great review!!, I really enjoy the Monte Cristo White lables, The Number 1 is probably my Favorite size for the Monte Cristo's.

This is a great smoke - just very pricey.

I think I still have a 5er that I wanted to sell, I may fire one up this weekend.
