Well, the Titans lost today and I was bummed out, so I decided to cheer myself up with a Cuban Montecristo #4. I usually like the #2 better, but I am running out of those and haven’t had one of these since I bought them, so I figured I would enjoy a fine cigar this evening.

This is a very good cigar. They seem to get better with every one I smoke, with the exception of the first one which was harsh and had a burnt rubber smell to it. I assume it could have been a bad one, or maybe a piece of rubber actually made its way into the filler. Woody/leather flavor at the start, and then little mellower during the second half. I normally like maduros better, but I am not going to turn down any Cuban cigar. These are very well constructed and consistent throughout the box.

Now this one is almost gone, so I am already thinking about what else I will smoke this evening to cheer myself up. We play Denver next Monday night, so I may have to break out one of the Montecristo #2’s for Monday night football, or a Cohiba Siglo that I have been saving for a special occasion.
