Today I’ll give you the details of my Montecristo White Series cigar review. In the beginning, I’ll give an introduction to the group, Montecristo White Series cigars were designed to compliment their predecessors, the Cuban Montecristos. They did a decent job too. Although it’s hard to make a comparison note-for-note however, the White series does have some of the same features 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 dark cigar’s Cuban Montecristo label on this cigar, one would believe it is the first. With the Nicaraguan binder as well as a mixture consisting of Dominican as well as Nicaraguan long-fillers The White has a rich natural sweet and creamy flavor that is found in many Cuban cigars. Because Montecristo White Label is a distinct brand, Montecristo White Series has its distinct flavor and flavor, I’m not going to go in further discussion of comparisons to its counterparts in the contraband category.
Montecristo White Series Cigar Review
As I said earlier the look of the cigar is accentuated by the silky light blonde wrapper leaf which was without veins. It was capped with a perfectly executed triple cap. For the packaging, it was solid all the way from bottom to top and when cut using the XiKAR Xi, the cap was removed cleanly with a perfect circle.
The cold draw felt somewhat squishy, with an nutty, sweet flavor with a hint of Hay. The toasting and the light were slightly sloppy, but I needed to consider that this cigar seemed more moist than typical. The cigar, however, once it began to draw, it increased to the perfect amount of draw.
The burn began little unevenly, but then improved within the first half of an inch. Ash was generally light grey (almost translucent) in appearance, and was sufficiently firm to hang on for a time but was easily removed after I checked 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. However, once rolling in the ashtray, it became easy for the cigar to create an attractive cherry-shaped shape. Ash was also stronger in the last few inches.
First puffs from the Montecristo White Series were earthy sweet, woody and smooth with a load of delicious, rich white smoke with an extended final. As I retrohaled, I had an immediate impression of how richly flavored this cigar was. While the retrohale was a bit sweet, it had an abundance in pepper flavor, I noticed not a any peppery flavor when smoking the cigar normal. When the cigar started to settle I was able to determine that the primary notes were sweetness and earthiness, with a few nutty notes offering this cigar a good amount of depth, superb equilibrium, as well as a delicious and woody scent.
General Notes
Regarding general flavor and consistency this cigar was fantastic in terms of overall flavor and consistency. In terms of quality it is a great choice. Montecristo White gradually becomes more of a full-bodied smoke as you reach the middle section. If you allow it to breathe between puffs, I noticed that the smoke seemed to be more consistent in taste and balance. The cigar only required one relight since I was off my workstation for about two minutes, but then returned from where it stopped. Double bands (not visible in old photographs) makes sure you know that you’re 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 thought that the majority of smokers would get rid of second band before removing the primary one.
Conclusions
A medium-bodied cigar was plenty of sweetness and flavor which caused this Montecristo White Series very hard to quit. To prevent the cigar from becoming smoky or cracking due to over-puffing I was constantly reminding myself to rest it. Once it had cool 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 noticeable note that was too strong to be detected. Additionally, this cigar is an excellent example of “a well-balanced” smoke.
This one is sure to please smokers who like moderate Dominican cigars such as Macanudo Cafe. The Montecristo has a very similar smoke in terms of scent and smoothness department, however it has greater richness. You should pay close the attention to this cigar.
I hope that you’ve enjoyed reading this Montecristo White Series cigar review as much as I enjoyed writing it! It was difficult to find any negatives about this cigar. I think the most convincing evidence is that when I finally laid it down, just one inch of it was left.
