Ring Gauge: 54 | Length: 150 mm | Count: 20 | Shape: Robusto Extra | Factory Name: Geniales
The Montecristo Eagle is a grand robusto measuring 150 mm by a 54 ring gauge, wrapped in a perfectly smooth Colorado wrapper with a very firm feel. The cold draw offers notes of raisins and oak barrel, accompanied by a tight draw.
The first third opens with cocoa and earthy flavors. Despite the seemingly tight draw, the cigar produces a generous volume of smoke and displays complexity from the outset, with vegetal undertones.
In the second third, subtle honeyed notes emerge as the strength gradually increases, enhanced by peppery spices. The combustion remains very consistent.
The final third features empyreumatic flavors of roasted cocoa, toasted bread, and spices, concluding with a slight astringency in the last puffs.
Named “Cigar of the Year” in the recent Havanoscope edition, the Eagle, though somewhat underappreciated, stands among Habanos’ finest offerings. Its solid construction and pleasing evolution make it a must-try when available.
