Montecristo White Series Cigar

Per Cigar.com, “Creamy, elegant, and smooth, Montecristo White Series is an all-time classic blend with a velvety texture, delightful aroma, and crisp but richly nuanced finish. Out of all the Montecristo brands bulging portfolio, White Series is the most requested. This golden blend is one of the more recent additions to the Monte family. White Series was produced in response to the demand for a tamer and creamier cigar, but one that still had a rich, definable flavor and character. White Series is mellow to medium-bodied with a bready aroma. The copious amount of smoke it produces has a creamy texture that is soft on the palate with a quite crisp, moderate finish. The Connecticut Shade wrapper and Dominican long-leaf make this cigar complex, yet not overbearing. This combination is what has attracted all types of cigar enthusiasts to the Montecristo White Series.
