Montecristo Puritos

Small but mighty, these are the Montecristo Puritos—small cigars or large cigarillos, depending on your preference. They are "stems" that, when cold, smell richly earthy and slightly sweet. When lit, the Puritos practically burst with a powerful aroma, accompanied by a slight spiciness. The draw is a bit light, but that doesn't detract from the short smoking pleasure.
