Montecristo No.5 - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on November 15, 2016):

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.
