The Montecristo Number 5 is a traditional medium-to-full-bodied Cuban cigar that is perfect for a rapid smoking session since it delivers the brand's distinctive rich, earthy, and spicy flavour in a brief, pleasing format.

First Third: The cigar begins with a strong earthy and red pepper impact. There are also hints of cedar wood and a subtle sweetness that is frequently referred to as caramel or molasses.

Second Third: Notes of leather, oak, and dark chocolate develop as the first spice blends in seamlessly. The texture becomes creamy, and the notes of roasted coffee and almonds become more noticeable.

Last Third: As the cigar burns down, the flavours consolidate and strengthen to a rich profile of deeper earthiness and powerful espresso. A strong and gratifying finale is produced by a lingering peppery finish.
