Description
Montecristo Especial is a grand panatela, over 7 inches long, with a ring gauge of 38. It is not as long as the monster Montecristo A, but still requires well over one hour to finish, depending on your pace.
Taste Note
Strong, elegant and complex this Montecristo Especial is perfectly blended and rolled. This gran panatela has a clean burn, infallible draw and a myriad of flavors all of which are hidden under a clever tweaked cap. In the mouth the smoke is velvety and full of mocha, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla and gingerbread. Things get even more complex when the middle tier kicks in leather aromas are added to the heady cloud of smoke. The finale doesn't get any easier but culminates in a bittersweet, tangy brew with of nuances of musk and pine. Complex to say the least! This cigar is unique and is for the real aficionados in our midst.
