Presentation

The Montecristo Double Edmundo - 10 cigars comes in a Semi Boite Nature box with Habanos Packing Code CB-UW-n-10-n-10

Dimensions:

Length: 155 mm

Diameter: 19.84 mm

Ring gauge: 50

Shape: Dobles / Robusto Extra

Appearance:

First of all, the Semi Boite Nature is looking very classy, much better than any average wooden box or the more common dress boxes. The Montecristo Double Edmundo seems of great construction, it has a slightly dark brown color, reminding of coffee bean color. The cigar feels good between the fingers, it is well packed and without any soft spots, just a slight give when squeezed. The wrapper is very smooth, no veins apparent. The Double Edmundo is sporting Montecristo new band, with the gold fleur-de-lis and golden writings.

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

The wrapper smells typical Montecristo, lots cream, chocolate, hazelnut and a hint of wood. Some spices also reach the nostrils.

Burn/ Draw

Once cut, the draw is slightly tight, but opens up while smoking the cigar. Lights easily, the burn line is slightly wavy but corrects itself. The cigar is producing a nice velvety smoke right from the start.

Initial third:

The first third of the cigar starts off with spices on the lips and a strong woody flavor on the palate. It is pretty smooth, mild to medium strength for now. Some tobacco flavors also comes forward, along with some nuttiness from peanuts, some coffee, earth, sourdough bread and some creaminess that is creeping up. There also notes of cocoa, caramel and red fruits. The draw is still perfect; the ash is building up for almost 2 inches in a nice dark grey color. The burn line is now sharp and straight and the Double Edmundo is still generating a generous velvety smoke.

Middle third:

In the middle third, the dominant flavors are of chocolate, the wood is still there though. The cream is also becoming more present, whereas the earth, the caramel and the nuts are becoming more discrete. Some sweetness lands on the lips. Overall, it is still a lovely cigar which balance of flavors is amazing thanks to its almost perfect construction. The afterfinish is great and the burn is still perfect, as well as the draw. The strength ramped up slightly, and the Double Edmundo is now sitting at a medium body cigar.

Final third:

In the final third, the dominant flavors are still mainly of chocolate, strong hazelnut, strong spices. The cream and wood faded in the background, as well as the chocolate in the very end. The aftertaste is very spicy. The ashes hold on for a good inch until we let the cigar in the ashtray. The draw and burn are still perfect (the burn was left untouched). Whereas the flavors were stronger in the final third, it is nevertheless a medium bodied cigar.

In summary, despite being a young cigar, its construction is impressive and allows an experienced smoker to enjoy this explosion of flavors. It is also a cigar that will benefit from ageing in a humidor.

Smoking time:

50 – 70 Minutes

Tried again after sitting in my humidor for several months, Outstanding cigar, will be ordering again.
Well made but is mild and lacks complexity , 2/14/2019
By John
The cigar is rated a 10 on construction, burn, and combustion. It is beautifully made. However, the cigar is mild and lacks complexity. The aroma is of burnt mild tea, and the flavor consists of burnt wood and black pepper. Overall, the cigar rates 9.

My first Cuban after over 20 years of smoking cigars. This was an exceptional smoke. From the initial draw then at the end it returned, there was a flavor that I could not describe. I was amazed
