Montecristo D EL 2005 , Pre-light inspection: Very darkish, oily wrapper (seems to be identical to these superior wrappers on PSP containers) Implausible building with hardly any seen veins, lumps, and no spots in any respect
Barely agency draw, barnyard aroma at chilly
Opens peppery and leathery. Rather more earthy than what’s typical for a Montecristo. Jogs my memory of the final Monte GE that I had. Pepper dissipates after half an inch.
1st Third: At first, the Montecristo D EL 2005 has a heavy darkish/bitter chocolate style like very high-cocoa content material premium chocolate (not the candy Hershey’s crap) combined with leather-based. If I didn’t know higher, I’d assume I’m smoking a Partagas P2. Sadly, Partagas P2 are removed from my favourite smokes . Because the third progresses, a number of the Montecristo creaminess creeps in. No noticeable “twang”. Taste stays on the tongue for an unusually very long time after each puff. The retrohale is all cocoa. Leather-based will get pushed into the background (thank god). Draw stays agency however not overly so. Excellent burn line.
2nd Third: Smoother and creamier however nonetheless not like a typical (good) Monte 3,four or 2. Nonetheless very heavy on the cocoa and darkish chocolate. Much less heavy on the leather-based. Not a lot change in any other case… nearly forgot to replace this whereas I’m smoking away and studying FOH. Burn wants a touchup roughly at midpoint. At about the identical time, some honey sweetness begins to indicate up which makes the cigar very pleasurable. Lastly some actual evolution! The honey sticks round – YES! Who put that PLPC into this cigar? I didn’t take notes after I smoked my final Monte GE however as I give it some thought extra, this stick does style fairly comparable (minus the less-than-favorite ring gauge of the GE). That’s not a nasty factor.
Final Third: Cocoa, Chocolate, and honey. Leather-based comes again in the direction of the top however doesn’t get harsh. No additional touchups required. Ash doesn’t maintain super-long but it surely’s a bit windy.
Verdict: Very pleasurable however not so super-special that I’ve to exit of my strategy to observe down one other field. This cigar has loads of legs left so I’m wanting ahead to revisit this field in one other 12 months or so. 91 Factors.

Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Montecristo Montecristo D EL 2005 delivered on flavor (spice and toast) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.

The Montecristo D EL 2005 is a respectable cigar. Nice notes of earth and nuts, decent construction. However, I found it a bit one-dimensional compared to other Montecristo offerings. Not bad, but there are better options in this price range.

Decent cigar but not my favorite from Montecristo. The Montecristo D EL 2005 has good flavor – cedar and coffee – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.
