Montecristo White

I smoked this one out on the deck in front of the space heater. Straight cut it and paired with a Golden Pheasant Slovak beer.

It had a nice mellow pre light smell. The foot was a bit soft and spongy. Other wise construction was good.

The first 3rd had a very dark, almost black, ash medium draw but okay. Lots of great smoke with a smooth taste.

End of the first third and the burn started to get uneven and did start to have a very tight draw that made it tough to smoke.

The last two thirds was work to smoke. The draw was very tight. Again I wonder if it was over humidified.

Overall I liked the cigar. It had a pleasant taste and the strength was medium. If it were not for the draw it would have been perfect. I'd like to try another.

From the packaging:

Wrapped in a golder Ecuadorian Connecticut shade leaf and blended with select Dominican and Nicaraguan long leaf fillers. These medium to full bodied Whites are the current rage of cigar smokers everywhere.
