Montecristo Grand Edmundo LE 2010 - 10 cigars

Product Review (submitted on March 16, 2013):

I starting to like this size. The draw is very easy and expertly made, feels good if not light weight for its size-not densely filled like the Montecristo #2s. The flip of this is, it burns fairly quick but without issue. I've had the Edmundo too- and this is quite different in flavors - the wrapper is beautiful and feels great in hand.

The Montecristo flavors are softer, and more mellow in this big stick. The immediate impression is chocolate/mocha/coffee notes on the pallet. It does build slowly in body and intensity of flavors as it burns. Very easy to retro-hale. I'd say mild to medium body-no harsh tones. Its a decent value for an Limited Edition (10 box is a nice package to sample) and I'd say smoking one now a year later is much better than when I tried the first ones (as it usually is with Cuban sticks). Not complex and powerful like the #2 - just a sweet cocoa aftertaste puff after puff. Last 3rd does pickup in strength of flavors but never sours. Perfect anytime smoke for mornings with coffee, empty stomachs, etc., and of course for dessert!
