Montecristo Cigars

It wasn’t a Montecristo, Cohiba or any other Cuban cigar that I just put out and I won’t say exactly what I was smoking here because this is the ugliest cigar but I’ve ever seen but it tasted great and even though the wrapper was cracked and the cigar was coming apart as I neared the end, I couldn’t put it down…OK, I have to come clean and since I’m only going to say good things about this cigar I might as well let you know that it was a Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne Churchill cigar…

I was given this cigar in mid September and didn’t quite realize how dry this cigar was until I placed it into one of my humidors, forgot about it for a few weeks and then saw that it had absorbed a bunch of moisture and pretty much expanded it’s way out of it’s wrapper… Well not quite, but the wrapper was cracked all over and became a rather unattractive prospect… But…. I remember smoking one of these before and remembered how great it tasted and last night decided to light it up, regardless of the condition it was in…. This occurred quite late at night and I smoked the rest of this fine Churchill with coffee this morning…I really got a charge out of how the cigar butt looked and need to take a quick pic… I guess the best way to describe this mild to medium cigar would be to say that it is quite woody with notes of cedar evolving as the cigar burns… Quite a nicely balanced cigar that tends to evolve from first, to second third with ever changing flavors that slightly strengthen … The Perdomo is a very interesting Churchill and I’ll be looking for them whenever I travel to the U.S.A.
