Montecristo 520 Limited Edition 2012 - 10 cigars

Product Review (submitted on October 10, 2014):

A very nice puro indeed. In the straight line of the new taste of those who like a bit "oscuro", rather woody dark aromat. Not the light path for whom was designed, "shaped" cigars by Cubatabaco around late '90s early 2000 : the "new age" era...
This cigar is on time now and we may guess that it won't get much better before declining. However you still have enough time in 2014-2015.
Fun to smoke when it was young for a shaky hard pull or a strong push, now it's a kind of sure value which would taste like a very heavy good torpedo N°2 of the brand.
You will like it after a diner of meats with red wine or even with an Islay or any single malt.
Good amount of liguero, the ligada is not supposed to deliver in the very subtility that MONTECRISTO may give you for ex. in the A or the B of the same mark.
Take also notice that with a SPB of 10 units you have no excuse to miss this excellent parejo, one of the best of this brand for the moment.
So go for it !
BVy the way, at the right pace, you'll need 90 to 120 minutes to smoke it.
To sum up : it 's worth it
