1950 Monte #3

Incredible review, and photos! Intrigued by the tight, white ash. What in its aging causes that, as CCs are typically flaky and gray?

I second (third?) the admiration of the poker. That's really cool, and a thoughtful gift.
 
I’m sure you’ve got a cigar or two like that Jason. 😉

I'm not sure what I got anymore, cigars or otherwise. I guess that's the defining characteristic of a FOG. For me personally, my experience with smoking the unobtainium type cigar has generally been disappointing. I'm content smoking regular production smokes with 2-5 years on them. I love to read reviews like these where the smoke met expectations. Gives me hope!

JASON!!!! Good to see you slipping around the old school yard again.
 
That's awesome that the Monte still has legs after all these years. Thanks for sharing the review.
 
My brothers and I call the 'Grandma's attic' smell/taste of old CC 'musty basement'...so I get what you're saying. Glad to hear it faded a few puffs in...I've had cigars I've bought at auction that didn't lose that characteristic through half of the cigar.

Great review Bill...LOVE the taste of the previous generation Cuban seed!
