The Montecristo Edmundo is a grand robusto measuring 135 mm by a 52 ring gauge, wrapped in a simple, unpretentious Colorado wrapper with a firm touch. The cold draw offers earthy and menthol notes with a good, almost overly generous draw.
The first third opens airy, delivering toasted dried fruits, warm spices, and light cocoa flavors. The draw is well balanced though the cigar warms slightly; combustion remains steady.
In the second third, a rich smoke carries a complex and intense palette of cocoa, wood, spices, and subtle animal notes. The draw tightens, moderating the pace without sacrificing strength, which stays moderate.
The final third grows spicier with cocoa and wood flavors, maintaining a satisfying profile even as the smoke develops a touch of astringency. The finish is more powerful.
Almost matching last year’s top rating, the Edmundo earns a “coup de cœur” for its undeniable charm and appeal.
