- Cigar Aficionado

\Big meaty notes of leather and black pepper come off this little corona which is draped in a reddish-brown wrapper. It's balanced by sweet impressions of nougat and a heavy almond finish.\meaty notes of leather and black pepper come off this little coronawhich is draped in a reddish-brown wrapper.

What we think:

A petit-royal full of virtue. A mix of warm charm and dry humourthis Perla has a fine draw. Full-on frankness makes him short on subtletiesbut the conversation is smooth. Woody flavours and bean aromas are projections of powerbalanced by a civilised sweetness of nougat and nut. The prince who makes plain a pleasure. Montecristo No.5 vs No.4- which is better? Very similar profile of cocoahazelnutleatherespresso coffeethe main difference is the size. If time is of the essencego for the No.5.
