The tiny Montecristo No. 5 pleasantly surprised me. I discovered great taste variations in this 30-minutes smoke - I don’t know how they managed to pack all of these flavors in such a short stick, but I am sure happy they did.
Appearance : 
Modest appearance, very similar to other small Montecristos. Had some very nice plume on it, which means that the cigar was properly aged (I felt it).
Construction : 
Very well constructed, I experienced a satisfying draw, an even burn and rich clouds of white smoke.
Flavor :
The very beginning was very spicy (too spicy for my taste) and a bit harsh, but things changed after a couple of minutes of smoking. The flavor smoothed out and only a little of the spiciness was left, transforming the Montecristo No. 5 into a very light and mild cigar. By the end of the second third, notes of cocoa and roasted coffee were progressively added to the bouquet, which made it extremely delicious. A shame the last third was too short :)
Value :
Montecristo No. 5 is expensive considering its small format, but is worth it.
Overall Rating :
A great cigar to be smoked at any moment of the day. If you have a short break, go for it - 25-30 minutes and you’re done, happy and satisfied.
