One of the first cigars I recall sparking up was a
Montecristo, but I can’t tell you anything other than that. Tonight, during another walk with our dogs, I
lit up a Montecristo No. 5 Petite Corona that was given to me by the friend
that also gave me the Cohiba.
This little stick had a wood and leather aroma on pre-light
and a firm draw, but not a difficult draw.
The wrapper was slightly oily and begged to be enjoyed. It cut smoothly lit up nicely. The burn was mostly consistent and straight
with only a small jagged line in the first quarter that corrected itself.
The Petite Corona presented a leather and earthy taste
throughout the burn and was a pleasant change from the Cohiba from two days
ago. The smoke was smooth, but not
overwhelming and this time, my wife didn’t complain about it
The ash was a salt and pepper of white and dark grey ash
that stayed together for about an inch as we walked around our neighborhood and
only fell off when I was admiring it as I walked.
I enjoyed this cigar.
I finished it in my back yard while the dogs played in the snow, savoring
every puff. It heated up as it drew to a
close, which is normal, and finished with a full body. A steady transition throughout the cigar.
Recommendation – Go get one, or five. Keep them on hand as a surefire stand by when
you want a cigar and have limited time.
