Montecristo #1 Tubos

This was smoked as a Blind Taste Test from Savor The Stick.

I just smoked Savor The Stick's #1 cigar for the BTT. It was a light colored, long filler, triple cap, single wrapper/single binder, 6.5"x42 rg. It had some small veins. It had good construction and it was nice and firm, but not hard. Smelling it yielded a mild aroma. It cut easily, without cracking the wrapper. It lit easily and burned well and evenly. At first, it was very mild with medium amounts of smoke. About .25" in the smoke built up and some spice presented itself. It had a somewhat tight draw, but it wasn't bad. It had a nutty flavor mixed with some other flavors that I would call earthy or woody. It had TONS of vitamin N! I only smoked half of it and walked away with a little buzz. It held a nice white ash for over 1.5", when I ashed it in fear of it falling on my lap, LOL. I purged it after I ashed it because the burn wasn't quite right and the cherry wasn't full. After that, I got one light hint of liquorish . It was kind of refreshing. I didn't smoke it to the nub, because the flavors didn't change much and the nicotine was almost unbearable.
