Why this cigar
A compact classic that still tastes unmistakably Montecristo. If you’re reading a Montecristo No. 5 review or looking to buy Montecristo cigars UK, this neat Perlas size delivers a “proper cigar” experience when time is short.
Flavour & draw
Rich Monte cocoa and roasted coffee over sweet cedar, vanilla biscuit and a pinch of black pepper, brightened by a touch of citrus. Despite the slim ring gauge, the draw is composed and the burn steady—sip slowly and the flavour stays cool and aromatic.
