Today I’ll give you the details of my Montecristo White Series cigar review. For a start, let me give you some background information about the group, Montecristo White Series cigars were designed to compliment those of the first Cuban Montecristos. They did a decent job too. While it’s not easy to make a comparison note-for-note however, the White series definitely has similar characteristics as the Havana-blend. Its Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper is cured to a smooth, light blonde hue that’s like Cuban Corojo. If I put the the Cuban Montecristo label on this cigar, one would think that it originated from the same. With the Nicaraguan binder as well as a mix made up of Dominican as well as Nicaraguan long-fillers This White is a full natural sweet and creamy taste that can be found in a variety of Cuban cigars. Because Montecristo White Series is a distinct brand, Montecristo White Series has its own distinct character and flavor, I’m not going to go any further into comparisons with the contraband counterpart.
Montecristo White Label Cigar Review
As I said earlier the style of the cigar begins with its light, silky wrapper leaf, which was devoid of any visible veins. The cigar was finished with a perfectly executed triple cap. In terms of packaging, it was solid all the way from bottom to top and when cut using the XiKAR Xi, the cap was removed cleanly in a perfect circular shape.
The cold draw was to be a little tight, with an nutty, sweet flavor with a hint of Hay. The toasting and light seemed slightly sloppy, but I needed to consider that this cigar seemed more moist than typical. The cigar, however, once it started to burn, the draw increased to the perfect amount of draw.
The burn began slightly unevenly, but it was able to settle within the first half of an inch. Ash was generally light grey (almost translucent) in appearance, and was strong enough to hold on for a time however it fell off quickly when I tested its solidity against the ashtray’s wall. The ashflakes were also known to drop off when I moved it from my mouth towards the Ashtray. When you rolled it in the ashtray, the cigar was able to make the perfect cherry-shaped shape. Ash was also more solid in the last couple of inches.
First puffs from the Montecristo White Series tasted earthy, sweet, woody, and silky smooth, with a hefty amount of delicious, rich white smoke that has an extended final. In retrohaling, I received an unmistakable impression of the full-flavored flavor this cigar has. While the retrohale was a bit sweet, it had plenty in pepper flavor, I noticed absolutely no any peppery flavor when smoking the cigar normal. When the cigar started to settle I figured out that the main notes were sweet wood and earthiness with a few nutty notes providing this cigar with a decent amount of complexity, great balanced, with a delicious and woody scent.
General Notes
Regarding the overall flavor and consistency, this cigar was fantastic in terms of overall flavor and consistency. In terms of quality the Montecristo White develops into more of a full-bodied smoke as you reach the midsection. When you are allowed to breathe between puffs, I noticed that the smoke seemed to be more consistent in its flavor and balance. The cigar only required one relight since I was out of my office for a few minutes, and then picked up from where it stopped. Double bands (not seen in earlier images) assures you that you are smoke this particular Montecristo White Series, because the words “White Series” appear on both neck and the secondary bands. I think the reason for this is that they believed that most smokers would get rid of second band before removing the primary one.
Conclusions
For a medium-bodied cigar , there was plenty of sweetness and flavor which caused it Montecristo White Series very hard to stop. To prevent the cigar from becoming too juicy or cracking due to over-puffing I was constantly reminding myself to rest it. After it had cooled down, every puff was fantastic. The full-flavored flavor comes from the Nicaraguan tobaccos that are used in the binder and filler and there was not one dominant note to be found. Additionally, this cigar is an excellent example of “a well-balanced” smoke.
This blend is a good choice for smokers who prefer moderate Dominican cigars such as Macanudo Cafe. The Montecristo is a similar flavor in the aromatic and smoothness department, but it offers much more in depth. You should pay close particular attention to this smoke.
I hope you enjoyed the Montecristo White Series cigar review as much as I enjoyed writing it! It was difficult to find any negative thing about this cigar. I believe the best evidence is when I finally took it off, only one inch of smoke was left.
