The wrapper has a sweet cocoa and tobacco aroma to it, very inviting.Subsequent ashes all held on around an inch and stayed clean and tight.Ash held on just past an inch before I gently tapped it off.Ash is fairly strong and clean, colouring is light gray with lots of black accents.Very little resting smoke but it gives off a mild and pleasent woddsy aroma.Each draw is offering up a hefty mouthful of smoke.This burn is perfect, absolutely no waves or retouches from start to finish!.


The burnline is still razor sharp through half the cigar and has started to burn a bit slower.The burn line glows brightly with each draw, staying nice and straight but it seems to be moving quickly.The small corona sized cigar toasted easily to a nicely glowing foot.Draw it spot on, lots of air but just enough resistence.Cutting the cigar was effortless and fairly clean and didn’t cause any wrapper damage.The foot looks moderately packed, a couple open spots can be seen.The triple cap is finished tightly and clean.The entire cigar is consistenly soft and springy.There is a fair bit of bumpiness on the wrapper and a few prominent veins but none look problematic to the burn.A slender rough looking cigar with a medium brown wrapper and some dark brown accents.As always, I’m going into this review completely unbiased and will be giving my wholly honest opinion as I burn away.Ĭigar: Monte Pascoal Drink: Quinta do Tedo Fine Tawny Vitola: Corona (5.623 x 42) Wrapper: Brazilian Mata Fina Binder: Brazilian Mata Fina Filler: Brazilian Mata Fina and Mata Norte Price: About $6 Burn Time: Just over 1 hour Let’s light this cigar up and see how it stands. The blend of tobacco sounds very interesting and I’m hoping to get a lot of the expected cocoa and coffee notes that I typically get from Brazilian wrappers. The Monte Pascoal line is available in 6 Vitolas and are all made with the same blend of Mata Fina and Mata Norte leaves. As with the Dona Flor, the Monte Pascoal is a Brazilian Puro Cigar. The Monte Pascoal name comes from a part of Brazil where the first Portugeuse explorer landed in Brazil. The tobacco portion of the Orsi’s company was established very recently in 2007 but they also have business in Wine, Steel, and Real Estate. Monte Pascoal is made by the Tabacos Mata Fina Ltda company and is part of the Orsi Family Group. Last week I reviewed the Dona Flor and this time it is a Monte Pascoal. I managed to find another cigar that was kindly sent my way from our friends over at. With this information in mind I decided to reach for a smaller vitola cigar to review. Tonight the temperature is supposed to dip down to about 7F. At least it was a nice break from this winter which has been unusually colder then normal. Just as fast as the warmth came the cold has returned yet again.
