You might have one of these still hanging around, some pretty full bodied MCs with toothy maduro wrapper from 2019 box. !Que fuerte amigos! So in this muggy 25 deg climate change weather, added a white Russian but muddied the waters with an added espresso and chunk of chocolate ice cream for good measure. Nice match. And getting me high on all sorts of fronts!
El Monte is just as full of meaty coffee grind and leather flavours as i remember (touch of liquorice, cloves and black pepper, also like chewing on a wool shed), but perhaps a little less in your face and a little more of a range of flavours than it was in year 1. Reminiscent of that bomb of a Nicaraguan puro Illusione Bombones 44, dialled down of course. Dirty Russian makes it enjoyable to the nub... Burning my fingers as we speak. Nice.
