Details
Montecristo No.5 - 25 cigars [4.0" x 40]
The taste of this little one is almost like his bigger brothers.
- • Full of flavor and very spicy yet creamy.
- • It also has a very earthy taste. It is a heavy cigar but never becomes unpleasant.
The trick is to smoke it slowly. Then it doesn’t get hot and you can enjoy this stick for about an hour.

Great bold winter smoke

By Jon -
Order came very fast, and was double vacuum sealed.
Great cigar, taste was basically identical to a no.4 but in a much quicker, 20-40 minute smoke.
Had a very even burn for being a smaller cigar, slightly tighter draw than a no.4, but all the great flavors, with a pretty uniform taste of slight spice, strong cocoa, leather, dark coffee grounds, earthiness, and creamy vanilla, didn't notice nuttiness, but it is a great smoke at a wonderful price, much bolder taste than a purito. I did notice slight ammonia and sourness, smoked straight out of the box, but are now sitting in my humidor. I recommend these definitely to have in your arsenal, when you're feeling a bit frugal and need a quicker smoke. great value and taste, but if you were to buy a box of 4's Vs 5, shell out a little extra for a box of no.4's the slightly bigger ring gauge felt like it allowed me to smoke it down lower, worth it since it burned cooler for me when it became a nub.
