Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - Box of 10

Date Added: Thursday 13 February, 2020 by Andrew

A bit hit and miss! Lovely cigar for someone new to cigar smoking nice and mild with a lovely flavour. My only criticism is that some smoke wonderfully whilst other are so tight it’s like trying to suck up a McDonalds milkshake! Seems to be about 50/50 whether you get a good one or a tight one.

This has got to be the worst cigar Ive ever had. Bought it at close of play from Chester to have while having a swift pint. Cant tell you what the Ash burn was like because it didnt stay lit long enough to get any, when it did light it burned uneven every time at one point it burned down the center of the cigar leaving the sides unlit. It reminded me of one of my nans woodbines from years ago, cigar seemed damp inside could not get a draw from it at all, binned it half way down and its not a large cigar. Will not be buying this brand again, maybe a bit harsh but you expect to be able to enjoy all there brands regardless of the price.

Originally purchased this from the main shop in Liverpool as recommend by Evan.Very tasty enjoyable smoke. With this in mind I ordered a further two more online along with a few other cigars. After receiving I noticed some green discolouration on one of the cigars. After emailing Liam (with images attached, including humidor readings which were fine) I was advised that this was just superficial and would not affect the overall experience of the smoke. Unfortunately in my opinion the smoke for some reason was very different. The burn was not even at all, the cigar needed constant re-lighting, and the drag seemed poor. Now I don’t claim to be any sort of expert, however I have smoked a fair few cigars. This was definitely one of the worst. Still tempted to try another No5 but perhaps from another supplier, although I will still purchase from here unless the issues Im having continue.

I've smoked dozens of these and never had a bad one. Consistent construction with the classic Montecristo taste. The perla size makes it perfect as an everyday smoke or for when time does not allow for a bigger cigar. Smoked slowly the flavours are better and can last over half an hour. I always enjoy these down to the nub and burn my fingers.

For me this was a terrible smoke, construction and draw ok, but as for the taste there was not even a hint of sweetness, it was very harsh and tasted of bad strong burnt liquorice (I normally like liquorice) Anyway a double thumbs down Monte No.5
