Montesino Maddy Review ... O'le Faithfull!!!

[palm55]

My first impulse tonight was to go after one of those beautiful little rascals Alphuez55 bombed me with today... ESPECIALLY that Dark Knight!!!

But sensibility got the best of me (for a change)... Alp's gifts went into a marked box in the coolerdor (after marking the cellos in his name), and are enjoying a well-deserved rest from the trip between MA and MI.

AND SO... I find myself with a Montesino DC... I loved the Dipimatico to death, so I figured, "Bigger is Better."

Right???

Right!!!

CONSTRUCTION & TRIM:
Kind of rough around the edges, as most maduros seem to be. Trim on the cap is easy enough (read that: I screw up on the trim often, but this one forgives me!).

BURN:
Smooth and slow... No corrections at this point (halfway)... I keep wondering, "How can they make a cigar burn so nicely!?" On the other hand, and with other smokes, I wondered, "How can they make a cigar burn so bady!?"

BODY:
If you're looking for a heavyweight, pass it up! If you're looking for a light-medium maduro, think about it!

SENSORY IMPRESSIONS:
Montesino makes it "easy" to enjoy your cigar. Burn is good, allowing me to enjoy a nice nutty-chocolaty flavor without screwing around with a lighter! (I HATE that crap!).

Is it an "enlightening" cigar experience?

NOPE!!!

Is it a "satisfying" cigar experience?

Yep, yep, and tripple-yep!

OVERALL:
For those new to cigars, I would recommend trying a Montesino (as I would recommend other brands, as well)!

This brand offers the richness of a maduro wrap without a harsh filler.

(As usual, my reviews are purely and entirely subjective!)

Nicely done Palm55. I haven't smoked a Montesino in a long while. Your review makes me remember that there are different experiences that we seek out of a smoke. For the enlightened experience, say after the birth of a child or when celebrating something else, we want an epic, a monument, a treasure. However, there are many times when we want something less sublime. Maybe it's the drive to work, or during a lunch break or just before dinner. There's cigar for every occasion.

Good job.

what does the apostrophe stand for?



never had a montesino maduro, and only had one natural which was blah, unimpressive... may have to try the maduro next...

[QUOTE=mmblz]what does the apostrophe stand for?


Either a hiccup or a fart... Can't remember which it was!

A M'ontesino maduro is not a bad cigar. This same cigar blooming will be, in fact, sublime. My local had few that had been laying low for a while and they were excellent.

Good review Palm. I haven't had a Montesino in a very long time, but they were one of the first maddies I tried, and it actually hooked me on mellow maduro's. Good call!
