I have a few Monte #1s from Jorge's last fire sale. I grabbed one and head outside while my kiddos slept this afternoon.

I love the lonsdale size. It's elegant without being too big. This stick looked nice and ready.

My initial reaction when I lit it was that it tasted just like a #2, which it should because they're supposed to be near identical blends per MRN. I got all of that Monte flavor.

The cigar drew a little rough to start and I could feel that right around the band, it was tight. Over the next 45 minutes, it evened out well. By the time I put it down, the stick was drawing easily.

This was a very nice cigar. Full of flavor without being too in-your-face.
