The Montecristo Maltes is a grand robusto measuring 153 mm by a 53 ring gauge, wrapped in an oily, slightly wrinkled Colorado wrapper with a good fill. The cold draw reveals notes of raisins and rich earth, accompanied by a good draw.
The first third offers a distinctly woody start with lightly sweet toasted touches. Roasted cocoa notes gradually emerge and gain intensity.
In the second third, rich chocolate flavors hot chocolate, bitter cocoa, and cocoa bean take center stage, supported by impeccable construction.
The final third brings a slight increase in strength with notes of earth and roasted coffee, finishing smoothly without disruption.
This grand robusto exudes serenity and complexity. While its premium price places it beyond some budgets, it delivers balanced flavors and expert craftsmanship, maintaining its high standard from last year.
