Transitioning to a sweet creaminess with oak, earth, leather & dark cinnamon spice, a caramel sweetness and finishes full bodied with additional creamy leather flavors. The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary seems to be designed with the experienced cigar smoker in mind, because the cigar has complexity, refined tobacco taste and the price; for those reasons I recommend making the time to truly enjoy this cigar fully. Toro size is box worthy in my opinion.  MSRP $15.95
