Hey Mates! I just tried my first HDM, so I thought I would do a quick review for others who may not have tried one yet.
Hoyo de Monterey Petit Robusto
Unknown box code - purchased a 3 pack to sample
Appearance: An attractive looking smoke that appears to have been constructed with care. Nice shade of brown with little to no defects.
4.5/5
Construction: Prelight draw gave a nice clean tobacco and cedar taste. The burn on this cigar was impeccable. Probably, one of the best burning CC I have ever smoked (I always have good burns with Partagas D4 and Shorts as well). A quality smoke here. 4.5/5
Flavor: Upon lighting, the clean crisp tobacco taste continues with a predominately woody flavor. After the first third, the same flavors dominate, but the spice ramped up a bit. This is not an overly complex smoke. The same flavor profile dominates throughout. However, the spice kicks up a notch after the midpoint. This is an enjoyable smoke and one that I would revisit again. I nubbed and burnt my fingers on this one, which I tend to do on a lot of good smokes. I took my time with this one, as I am not a fast smoker and it lasted a good hour. 4/5
Overall, I enjoyed this smoke and will certainly buy a box. I have only had these resting in my humi for about a week before lighting, so I can only imagine how good they will be after some time. (I know curiosity got the best of me). Sorry for not posting pics, I am not much of a photographer, but may do so in future reviews.

, but I have about six tucked away that I will try again after they age a little - 5 or more years.
