Good afternoon all,
I've just been to visit my local tobacconist and I've picked up some new sticks as well as my favourite the Boli JC (sadly, the Mag 46 only came in a 5 pack so I'll have to order a single online as well as the Connie 1). Before I start I must say that there isn't too much to say about this baby cigar.
My plan for now is that every stick I buy, I'm going to age for a couple of years and save for special occasions such as Christmas, end of exams etc! So, this leaves me with the dilemma, I'm saving my larger cigars so I'll either have to resort to Cigarillos, PC's or JC's or Puritos. I saw 1x5 Montecristo Puritos advertised for ?6.50 in my local shop.
So, onto the Puritos themselves. These are machine-rolled but I've tried a lot of cigarillos and these are much, much nicer. I think the size allows for more flavours, surprisingly there was a consistent woody flavour, I'm going to sound like a maniac if I say "I could taste parma violets" but when you eat a violet there is a distinct "powdery" feel afterwards, I experienced this with the Puritos in terms of the powdery after taste but nothing hot or strong at the back of the throat.
The construction wasn't bad, it was very decent for a machine made cigar but nowhere near as tight and sturdy as the proper Montecristos.
Flavours were consistent, a lovely woody and slight grassy flavour with a generous amount of smoke of typical Monte smoke for its size.
All things considered, priced at ?6.50, flavour, smoke and construction I'd give this little bandit a score of 7.8 out of 10. They are cracking for a quick smoke at work, university (why I purchased them), in a rush at home or even in the car.
For ?6.50 you really can't go wrong as my Purito lasted for a good 15 - 20 minutes.
Thanks for reading!

stevietheboy....4 boxes of 25 sticks each. Now, correct me if I?m wrong, but that?s about 100 puros for under 100 bucks (US).
