Montecristo No. 3

This 5.6” 42 ring gauge Montecristo Corona is an underrated stick that offers creamy complexity with every puff. This medium-to-full-bodied cigar is mild enough to appeal to novices yet flavorful enough to be enjoyed by aficionados. 

The initial third starts out with pleasant aromas of tobacco and leather, but then this rewards you with lush creaminess as the burn remains even, producing luscious plumes of dense smoke. Then, the flavors start to turn more chocolatey with hints of spice and vanilla. The final inch throws in some zesty notes of lemon that arrive to cleanse your palate at the end of the short 45-60 min smoking time.
