Montecristo Platinum, Vintage 1999 Toro

Corona Gorda Ring 50, Length 6". Montecristo has a series were they are re-releasing cigars in this size from each of the past 7 years (99,00,01,02,03,04,05). A cute idea, but I'm not sure if there is that noticable a difference between the years.

As the older cigar in the series, the Vintage 1999, was supposed to have the most mellow yet established flavor.

It was a good smoke, quite flavorful, but not overwhelming. It was mild. I noted flavors of wood & dark spices. the cigar smoked well, but burned unevenly. Yet it left no burn on my tougue or bitterness as I smoked it longer.
