Smoking the Montecristo White Series Rothschild (5 x 52) is a smooth and refined experience from start to finish. Right away, you get a creamy, mellow profile with notes of cedar, toasted almonds, and a touch of white pepper. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper adds a bit of sweetness with hints of vanilla and hay, giving it a well-balanced, easygoing character.
The burn is sharp, and while the draw is slightly firm, it still produces plenty of silky smoke. As the cigar progresses, the flavors stay consistent and smooth, with the nuttiness becoming more noticeable in the final third.
It’s a perfect morning smoke—mild to medium-bodied, relaxing, and something you can just sit back and enjoy without thinking too much.
It was harsh at the very start but then mellowed out very quickly and was nice and mellow for 9/10th of the cigar. Maybe it was a one-off. I’ll try another and see. Overall, Id still recommend it.
Very mellow with no burn at all. Did not draw well at all. Vanilla. Sweet. I was looking for something on the milder side but this was a little too tame.
Nice, well built cigar. Very mellow, pleasant taste. Gets slightly stronger in the last third. Too mellow for me, wouldn’t buy a box (not for the price), but I’d smoke it again anytime.
