Had a young Monte #4 this morning, as I was pulling out of Broken Bow, OK. While it was nicer than 1 year old montes used to be, I will lay the rest down for a long, 4-5 year nap. The first third was good, the second third, the tannins started to appear, the final third was pitched, as it became unpalatable. I grabbed an eight year old Bolivar pc, as I started the long pull up "Three Sticks." A great smoke, that seems to get better, every time I smoke one. Habanos really screwed the pooch, when they discontinued the 50 count cabs, of Bolivar PC.
