An elegant smoke. I feel classy just holding it. In my opinion, this blend is richer and stronger than standard numbered Montectisto vitolas. Snug draw, but with great burn and excellent construction. This specimen comes from a 2021 box. There is great aging potential.

I recently picked up a box and such a wonderful format. Flavors are awesome, exactly what I hoped for so I bought a second box since they’re not often available.
