Hand Made: Y
Brand: MONTECRISTO
Shape: CORONA
Country of Origin: DOMINICAN REP
Length: 5 1/2 INCHES
Gauge: 44
Strength: MILD-MEDIUM
Wrapper: CONNECTICUT
This one came in the Operation Hope pack I bought recently.
Personally, I loved it.(it's the one I'm smoking in my avatar) Pre-smoke draw was a mild nutty flavor. Toasted well but I have to admit I have a little trouble lighting this gauge of cigar. Once I did get an even burn it was very good. Unlike other milder cigars I've had, this one was full of flavor but not strong. Some mild's I've had just tasted empty. It did get slightly stronger as I smoked it but was always very smooth. It also had the kind of aroma that made me just want to light it and leave it burning in a room. Almost enjoyed the aroma as much as I did smoking it.
This one is fighting the Padrones for the top of my list. Kind of hard to find online. Pricey - yes and some would say overpriced. I haven't smoked enough to know for sure, but this is the first what I'd call expensive cigar that's got me thinking I want a box of them.
Note: After doing some research, this may not be the exact cigar I had. There was no ID on the cigar or in the box. This was the first montecristo white I found online and the reviews I read pretty much matched mine.
