Growing too fast.
Went in to work for a few hours this morning to run some reports and check out the year-end numbers. Oh yeah, looking good! Came home and decided to fire up a Montecristo No. 2 to celebrate a good year! This was one very oily cigar with a golden brown wrapper that was silky smooth except for a few veins that ran the length. I clipped the head and found a very nice draw with taste of pure tobacco.
I torched the foot getting a good fire going, and the smell of the smoke was incredible before even taking a draw. After a couple good puffs, I took a long draw and was greeted with a medium smoke and mild, white pepper spice. I’m not sure if it’s because Christmas just passed, but the first thought that popped into my head was sugar cookies. Yes, sugar cookies along with notes of citrus zest and vanilla. Oh my was this good!
The burn was sharp through the first inch or so, and smoke flowed perfectly with the resistance spot on. The ash was strong, a mottled light and dark gray that I ashed at the inch mark. Halfway in and delicious roasted nuts and just straightforward, rich tobacco came through in the perfect, medium smoke. The burn did get a little crazy on in, however corrected itself just fine.
There was a perfect spice in the smoke and an incredibly lasting finish of delicious tobacco with that Monte twang. Fantastic! Towards the end the strength increased a notch and the flavors of strong tobacco continued with worn leather and hints of chocolate. What an amazing smoke, one of the best Montes I’ve had to date!
