Cedary and tea-like notes of this pleasantly pressed Lonsdale take on touches of café au lait and a tangy woody finish. Simple yet tasty.

Very savory notes of leather and wood manage to get through the firm draw of this Lonsdale. The smoke becomes sweet with graham cracker flavor.

This well-made lonsdale has a luxurious draw and dead-even burn. Its smoke is redolent of dark chocolate, nutmeg and spice before a woody, leathery finish.

A dry, coarse wrapper covers this cigar. It has rough notes and a poor performance. Great inconsistency—quite different from the other Montecristo No. 1 cigars

Box pressed and dark, with a beautiful cap. The draw is tight. The smoke is spicy and strong, with earthy notes.

This chocolate-brown cigar has wonderful texture. It begins with a hint of tea, then turns cedary and creamy. A medium-bodied cigar.

A good looking cigar with a nice head. It's sweet and meaty, and very strong.
