# CAO Zócalo Review #36 by Chris E

This cigar has a great draw, not too fast not too slow, just right. Great burn line and tight ash. Smoke plumes from the head as it rests in the ashtray. First and second thirds of the cigar were the same. Flavors of Hickory, Earth and fruit are amazing. By Chris E on September 16 2024 1:06:45 AM

## Montecristo​ Platinum Series

This cigar has a great draw, not too fast not too slow, just right. Great burn line and tight ash. Smoke plumes from the head as it rests in the ashtray.

First and second thirds of the cigar were the same. Flavors of Hickory, Earth and fruit are amazing. A very nice peppery sensation on the retrohale... Not obtrusive but pleasant, I like that. Here in the last 3rd the hickory comes forward and the fruit kicks up a notch, the other flavors remained but in the background. The Mexican Cubano wrapper tasted of cocoa and fruit...

What a nice smoke... I am becoming a Montecristo fan.
