While Montecristo blended the original 1935 Nicaraguan to be a full-bodied powerhouse, the Edition Diamante is medium in strength with flavors that are subtle and refined. A testament to Nicaraguan tobaccos it has a dark, oily, and toothy wrapper and complimented by a brown and gold double band that seamlessly blends into the cigar. In contrast to the outward appearance the cold draw is smooth and mild accompanied by the faintest hint of spice. As the cigar was lit, the room was filled with the wonderful aromas of fruit and nuts. While the first few puffs were silky with a mild creaminess that was a complement to the leathery quality of the smoke itself. The nuanced flavors persisted throughout the first half accompanied by occasional and subtle notes of fruit and sweetness. At the halfway mark, the 1935 transitions from a smooth and refined medium body to full bodied and earthy. Overall, the 1935 was wonderfully complex with subtle and nuanced flavors and an even burn that never required touching up.
Who is this cigar recommended for:
· Medium to full bodied smokers looking for a smooth cigar with plenty of flavors and subtle flavor transitions.
