The Montecristo No. 3 is a corona measuring 142 mm by a 42 ring gauge, wrapped in a fine and silky Colorado wrapper with a good fill. The cold draw presents notes of wood, undergrowth, and a hint of leather.
The first third opens gently but directly with a slight sharpness on the tongue. Dominant flavors of leather and wood are complemented by hints of nuts and hazelnuts, while the smoke carries a subtle coffee-like astringency.
In the second third, the profile remains linear as the sharpness fades, focusing on wood and leather with fresh herbal accents. The draw is very good, and combustion is flawless.
The final third offers fresh herbaceous notes, wood, and light coffee flavors. The smoke is smooth and creamy with a touch of pepper on the nose.
A pleasant, light, and straightforward cigar ideal for occasional smokers. Its balanced character earns it an additional half ring this year.
