To be honest I have mixed feelings about this. At First I got troubles with the draw. But probably due to it was my first torpedo. Then i managed to get a good draw, but cant say this one impressed me. Will give at another shot one day.

Looks like it is built well, ash stays nicely and burns evenly. Light, mild. Woody.

Would love to hear opinions on this one, if you tried.

Having tonight Zino Nicaragua. A great 30 minute smoke. Cigar is well made holds ashes nicely 🙂 very mild. Smooth, creamy taste. Earthy notes towards 2/3. Was leathery and a bit oily towards the end.

Very nice for an ocasional smoker.

Having an awesome smoke. Montecristo No. 4

Very smooth, mild taste. Smokes very quickly, surprisingly quickly ) nice texture, wrapped well. Excellent construction and even burn. opens up from 2/3 with a bit of coffee flavour. A bit ashy as well.

Read somewhere that it is one of the best selling cigars in the world. Definetely deservers to be an everyday smoke. Not complicated, yet pleasant. Very friendly. Good for “regulars” and newcommers.

Defintely recommend!

Quite easy, enjoyable smoke. Good for beginners, yet with rich taste.

Taste definetely to the sweet side. I got caramel or dried fruits notes. Despite of what i read, that many taste coffee there, cant confirm. Towards 2nd half of the smoke, i felt biterness but if to relate to coffee i would say heavily roasted robusta 🙂 maybe earthy.

Great smoke. Goes well along various drinks, good in any situation. My choice was blended japanese whiskey, probably bourbon would be better, hence maybe too sweet 🙂

Recommend! Cheers!

Mild, light cigar.. Probably too mild, opens towards the end, while still mild. Is a nicely made budget cigar. To be honest not worth trying, but enjoyed the atmosphere and the time i had with friends, while smoking it.

Nicey looking, pleasant in the hand light cigar. Perhaps too light for the evening, might be good for day. Coffee and wood for me.

Would prefer something stronger next time.

Light and quite mild during first 1/3. Quite strong in second half. Starting with ground coffee taste for me with earthy notes getting stronger with each puff. 60 gauge was rather unusual for me
