Montecristo (Cuba) Seleccion Robustos Montecristo

I enjoyed this the best of the Selection box. Lovely appearance, nicely aged, burned even, draw perfect, beautiful arouma, went very well with the Jamiesons.

A nice but mild cigar. Initial hints of cedar and cocoa switching to a more earthy tobacco flavor. Later hints of tea. I prefer this to the Partagas & HDM in the seleccion. Cap and wrapper were nice, burn was a bit crooked and draw was a bit firm. The best part of this cigar is the last half.

Started out on the spicy side but turned into a sweet kind of chocolate flavor. Remained strong tasting till the end when it became rather harsh. Burned well with a very dark ash and the draw was very good. Inexplicably, the burn faded toward the end and it went out completely.

The Sublime has risen! THis smoke uses the same crop and leaf from th Cohiba Sublime (farmed i 02, released in 04). THis wa farmed in 03 and relase in 06 (apparently).
Full, never strong, very oily and bursting with flavors. Not all the limitadas impress, this one was more then...

I found the whole selection to be hit and miss. This version of the Montecristo was pretty darn good. Some what low on the flavor profile though...then again it is a Monte.
