Tasting notes
The Don Diego Classic Monarch AT captivates at first glance with its impeccable appearance. Its generous size of 177.8 mm (7") and light-colored cap evoke the elegance of Connecticut shade. The texture of the stick is robust in hand, and the meticulous finish promises a superior experience. The entire presentation, housed in a chic tube with a cedar insert, suggests a pleasure to be savored.
Upon lighting, the cigar offers an engaging first olfactory contact, with notes of spring flowers, grasses, and a subtle hint of herbs. From the very first puff, it pleasantly invites itself to the palate, revealing slightly sweet and creamy notes. The aromatic progression is smooth and balanced, with a delicate evolution of flavors, enriched by nuances of mint and pepper that gradually unfold.
On the palate, the complexity unfolds across three thirds, with flavors of coffee and wood that blend beautifully. The initial sweetness evolves into more pronounced aromas without ever being overwhelming. The fifth dimension subtly reveals itself, with the rise in strength of the aromas stabilizing as the cigar approaches its end, never losing its charm.
The finish is marked by a pleasant mouthfeel, with a beautiful length, the sweetness lingers, providing a velvety texture. The perfect balance between strength and sweetness makes this cigar a delightful companion at any moment. What makes the Don Diego Classic Monarch AT unique is its ability to please fans of mild cigars while maintaining an interesting aromatic richness.
This cigar finds its place during a relaxing afternoon moment, accompanied by a latte or a glass of white wine, which will enhance its gourmand and floral notes.
